Reproducible with namcap 3.2.4-2.

Output is as follows:
$ namcap kvirc-phonon-svn-6285-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
kvirc-phonon-svn W: Referenced library 'libperl.so' is an uninstalled dependency
kvirc-phonon-svn W: Referenced library 'libkvilib.so.4' is an uninstalled dependency
kvirc-phonon-svn W: Dependency perl included but already satisfied

I think the problem is that libperl.so is not in the output of 'ldconfig -p' used in filllibcache() in sodepends.py

For testing purposes I created a symlink to libperl.so in /usr/lib

# ln -s /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl/CORE/libperl.so /usr/lib/libperl.so
# ldconfig

After that namcap finds libperl.so

I think the issue is more generally that namcap doesn’t follow RPATH.

I have the same issue with a package (opensmtpd) depending on the newly added libressl:
opensmtpd W: Referenced library 'libcrypto.so.45' is an uninstalled dependency
opensmtpd W: Referenced library 'libssl.so.47' is an uninstalled dependency
opensmtpd W: Dependency included and not needed ('libressl')

So I would change this issue to “[namcap] does not find libraries outside /usr/lib/” or something like that.

I'm not sure if this is a namcap bug.

Perhaps packages like libressl and perl (no libs or links in /usr/lib/) should ship a config file in /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ so that ldconfig finds the provided libs?

The fakeroot package ships such a file for example.

And so does openmpi. Great, seems a good idea.
Comment by Eli Schwartz (eschwartz) - Tuesday, 18 February 2020, 23:16 GMT
That would be pretty broken for openssl/libressl though...
Comment by Bruno Pagani (ArchangeGabriel) - Tuesday, 18 February 2020, 23:52 GMT
Of course… So good idea for perl, but not libressl which really needs RPATH support in namcap.
