Take a look at your package. There are also softlinks of the form
lib*.so.$MAJOR_VERSION in the main package, with $MAJOR_VERSION
usually being the current API version:
lrwxrwxrwx root root 14 /usr/lib/freetds/libct.so.2
For libraries in run-time linker's search path, ldconfig would create
and update these links. But nevertheless, packages ought to include
them, so RPM database queries work.

Yes.

Well, what results do you get after compiling software which depends
on your package? ;)
