Details

According to our package guidelines[1], all external shared libraries should be listed in provides=(). In order to meet this guideline, please add the following line to glibc:

provides=(ld-linux-x86-64.so libBrokenLocale.so libanl.so libc.so libc_malloc_debug.so libdl.so libm.so libmvec.so libnsl.so libnss_compat.so libnss_db.so libnss_dns.so libnss_files.so libnss_hesiod.so libpthread.so libresolv.so librt.so libthread_db.so libutil.so)

Kind of a waste of time given that whole system is removed in the next pacman release.

What's the point in adding libc.so to provides?
Comment by Balló György (City-busz) - Sunday, 12 February 2023, 15:33 GMT
Well, even though almost every package needs libc.so, it's technically an external shared library. The benefit would be that a package could list all direct library dependencies in depends=() and rely entirely on sonames instead of package names.
