Hi Greg,

 I have a custom recipe that copies a .so, that libMotors.so calls functions in another libcanfestival.so.

When I first added in the copy of the .so
I didn't have an RDEPENDS and Yocto printed out an warning listing the package that it wanted. I added an RDEPENDS_${PN}
with all of the packages listed, but I'm still getting an error for the first libMotors.so:

ERROR: userconfig-1.0-r0 do_package_qa: QA Issue: /home/sakura/lib/libMotors.so.1.0.0 contained in package userconfig requires libcanfestival.so, but no providers found in RDEPENDS_userconfig? [file-rdeps]

In userdepends I added:

RDEPENDS_${PN} += "canfestival libelf libgcrypt pcsc-lite-lib qtbase qtdeclarative qtserialport zint"

Package canfestival_3-asc in has:

FILES_${PN} = "/usr/lib/libcanfestival.so /usr/lib/libcanfestival_unix.so /usr/lib/libcanfestival_can_socket.so"

.so files are installed in the -dev package even with the line above.

Please have a look here: https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/TipsAndTricks/Packaging_Prebuilt_Libraries#Non-versioned_Libraries
if there is really no way for you to avoid having a non-versioned library.

You can check if .so files are part of a package by using
`oe-pkgdata-util find-path /usr/lib/libcanfestival.so`

Cheers,
Quentin
