Description:

Gdal package has the `/usr/lib/libgdal.so` shared library, but it's not specified in `provides`.
According to Arch package guidelines[0] the shared libraries should be listed there.
Having the versioned libprovides data in the package would be useful.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
gdal 3.7.0-1
* links

The guidelines are out-of-date and subject to change because next pacman version moves the goal posts. Please see  FS#77488  for example. We still have abundant pkgs that don't conform and we don't want/need a ticket for each one...but thanks anyway :)
