Ok, I can do that. But I'm not sure I understand why this is the case. OE detects the dependencies on the shared libs, and automagically adds the necessary dependencies to the opkg control file. Hence, if opkg on a device updates "e2fsprogs", it will see that the new version of "e2fsprogs" depends on the two new libraries, and it should pull those in from the feeds as well. Perhaps a use-case that will fail will help me understand, and consequently, help me put together a more-correct patch.
