Fedora 33 RPM package provides its own libraries won't install says "nothing provides"

Unix & Linux Asked by user3450148 on December 23, 2020

This should be watching ice melt simple, but it is not. I’m on Fedora 33 and creating an RPM for the Diamond text editor. I’ve got the Debian stuff all done and works great. Diamond uses the CopperSpice library which does not currently have any RPM or Debian packages. Not a problem as the development build puts the needed libraries in the same directory as the executable. As a work around when creating these packages I took the old fashioned approach of building a tree under /opt/diamond. Super simple and works great. You can even tell the build process to install to /opt/diamond and all is well.

I have now burned two days on tracking this down. The infuriating part is that it only gags on 3 of the libraries. No matter where I put libCsXcbSupport1.7.so that one seems to be found.

I have tried putting the full paths. I have tried just spaces between names. I have tried adding multiple Provides: tags so each had their own line. I have even had the SPEC file move the required libraries to /usr/lib/cs_lib/lib64. No matter what the same 3 libraries cannot be found.

There has to be something rather obvious I’m overlooking.

Given the avalanche of responses, I guess I have to post my own answer. This is what actually worked.

Believe it or not the Provides line had to be listed exactly like this:

Provides:   libCsCore1.7.so()(64bit), libCsGui1.7.so()(64bit), libCsNetwork1.7.so()(64bit)
