Do you have the output of 'readelf --all --wide' [1] for one of those binaries?
I am especially interested in the NEEDED field from the "Dynamic
Section." [2][3] The tag 'undeclared-elf-prerequisites' [4] can
probably be expanded to cover your condition of insufficient
prerequisites (instead of none at all).
Your condition involves sonames that I believe are customarily
provided by links in '-dev' installables instead of regular shared
library packages.
I would adjust that logic there. [5] In particular, I would refine the
conditional:
if @{$item->elf->{NEEDED} // [] }
&& $depends->is_empty;
What do you think, please? Thanks!
Kind regards
