DetailsDescription:
I'm getting the following errors for every package that doesn't contain any *.so* files, when running checkpkg: bsdtar: *.so*: Not found in archive bsdtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors. bsdtar: *.so*: Not found in archive bsdtar: Error exit delayed from previous errors. checkpkg works fine regardless of the errors, though. When downgrading to previous version, the errors disappear. Additional info: * package version(s) devtools 20141024-1 |

So this is coming from find-libprovides. Should that handle the case of a package with no libs, or should checkpkg simply suppress the error?

Probably just going to have to mask this in checkpkg. bsdtar doesn't consider it an error when your --include doesn't match anything in the archive =/

Sorry for the late response - the patch works correctly here, thanks!
