I just did some further investigation and discovered that:
F8 has: libcap-1.10-30.i386
which contains:
/lib/libcap.so.1
/lib/libcap.so.1.10
F9 has: libcap-2.06-4.fc9.x86_64
which contains:
/lib64/libcap.so.1
/lib64/libcap.so.1.10
/lib64/libcap.so.2
/lib64/libcap.so.2.06
and F10 has: libcap-2.10-2.fc10.i386
which only has:
/lib/libcap.so.2
/lib/libcap.so.2.10
It looks to me like the package maintainer is plating games with the
packaging in order to effect a migration forward. You probably need to
file an RFE in order to get libcap.so.1 put back into the F10 RPMs.
(or maybe call it a bug since it was in F9 and isn't anymore).
I hate it when people remove stuff in the name of progress which breaks
something else. Compatibility should reign forever.
Is it possible to find a newer version of Miredo with better package
requirements? (I know nothing about Miredo.)
