Any ideas on that? There's a lot of documentation about how to
exclude files from automatic dep generation, but I want to include
these.
My guess would be that they're not marked as executable. Shared
libraries don't really need to be executable but they always have been
in Fedora and the dependency generator ignores ones which aren't.

It's not just that. Packages that are outside the strict %{_libdir} path aren't
supposed to be automaticatlly generated, since they're assumed to be
package-internal and not exposed to the world.

Very good catch! Indeed they were not executable. I'll see if
setting proper mode fixes things.

I think this was requires generation, not provides, which should happen
everywhere.
