libpq.so - Re: Caution! Bad SONAME Provides

 From all non-versioned sonames which are provided by multiple packages,
only "libpq.so" is required by other packages:

gnokii-smsd-pgsql provides libpq.so
postgresql-libs provides libpq.so
  required by: postgresql-python - 8.2.4-1.fc7.i386
  required by: postgresql-server - 8.2.4-1.fc7.i386
  required by: postgresql-tcl - 8.2.4-1.fc7.i386
  required by: postgresql-python - 8.2.4-1.fc7.i386
  required by: postgresql-server - 8.2.4-1.fc7.i386
  required by: postgresql-tcl - 8.2.4-1.fc7.i386

At first sight it looked suspicious that postgresql packages required
libpq.so (why do they anyway?), but they also require libpq.so.5, so this
case is harmless (the gnokii pkg name is longer, too, btw).
