sorry, I overlooked your e-mail. It doesn't really matter whether your
package depends on libpopt.so.0 and/or libpopt.so.0(LIBPOPT_0). The new
popt version uses exports which are detected and catched up by rpm. As the
library is ABI and API compatible & named same, this is not of any belong.


Greetings,
