Hello!
*
I try to install package X that depends on shared lib Y.so.s1.
Y.so.1 is on /usr/lib/ and it is supplied by a non-rpm package.
*
What can I do so that rpm does not fail depedency of Y.so.1 for Package X?
*
Thanks much in advance!

have the package installed by rpm. rpm doesn't look at the local
filesystem for what is or is not there. It only looks at the rpm
database. If the file isn't installed by rpm then rpm won't be able to
know about it.

Actually rpm-5.0 has a runtime probe dependency to solve exactlythis type of problem of mixing package and unpackaged libraries:** *Requires: soname(/path/to/library) =
Y.so.s1if you want a solution in packaging.There are several other means to supply sonames-not-from-packages

Actually rpm-5.0 has a runtime probe dependency to solve exactly
this type of problem of mixing package and unpackaged libraries:
** *Requires: soname(/path/to/library) = Y.so.s1
if you want a solution in packaging.
There are several other means to supply sonames-not-from-packages
to rpmlib as well, including
** *mkdir -p /etc/rpm/sysinfo
** *echo "Y.so.s1" >> /etc/rpm/sysinfo/Providename

*Likely 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 abt 2.5 years ago for /etc/rpm/sysinfo.
The soname(...) probe dependency was implemented abt 1.5 years ago,mebbee 4.4.6.See the CHANGES file if you want precise versions.
Both are present in rpm-5.0 released Saturday.73 de Jeff
