In fact, excessively wide globbing here is explicitly discouraged by the
packaging guidelines:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_listing_shared_library_files

Looking at the current spec, it uses "%{_libdir}/*.so.*"; had it
followed this guideline, I believe this issue would not have occurred.
