[users] bug?! allegro-4.2.1-1.el6.rf.x86_64

[Chris Syntichakis]

Hi,

This is a bit strange....

I assume that this package contains the : liballeg.so.4.2
BUT after the installation there is no such file installed! (normally
should be installed under /usr/lib64)

thank you in advance

Your assumption is correct:

[root at lisse rpms]# rpm -qplv /dar/packages/allegro/allegro-4.2.1-1.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm | grep liballeg
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Nov 12 2010 /usr/lib64/liballeg.so.4.2 -> liballeg-4.2.1.so

It seems only the symlink is there, but not the actual library, which is
part of the allegro-devel. This is a very unusual setup, normally the
symlink is made the other way around and .so symlinks belong in the -devel
package.

I will fix it, but this is an upstream problem IMO.

PS Could you please open an issue at http://github.com/repoforge next time ?

Thanks !
