--- Comment #2 from Petr Menšík <[email protected]> ---
This package contains a lot of lib*.so shared libraries used by executables,
which lack soname versions [1]. They are required by packaging guidelines.
Those libraries are used at link time as a normal library, not as plugins
loaded runtime.

rpms-unpacked/libcamera-apps-1.0.2-1.fc38.x86_64.rpm/usr/lib64/libcamera_app.so
rpms-unpacked/libcamera-apps-1.0.2-1.fc38.x86_64.rpm/usr/lib64/libencoders.so
rpms-unpacked/libcamera-apps-1.0.2-1.fc38.x86_64.rpm/usr/lib64/libimages.so
rpms-unpacked/libcamera-apps-1.0.2-1.fc38.x86_64.rpm/usr/lib64/liboutputs.so
rpms-unpacked/libcamera-apps-1.0.2-1.fc38.x86_64.rpm/usr/lib64/libpost_processing_stages.so
rpms-unpacked/libcamera-apps-1.0.2-1.fc38.x86_64.rpm/usr/lib64/libpreview.so

Such format is usually provided by *-devel subpackages, but this package does
not have such thing.

I think they are supposed to be internal for the program and they should be
placed into %{_libdir}/%{name} with using rpath for this case [2].
It seems those libraries are not meant to be reused by any other tools
directly, because no -devel headers allows linking to them. It seems those
names do not conflicts with any existing packages now, but those names are not
specialized enough. I think moving them to to application specific subdirectory
is desireable to avoid future conflicts.
