rkoberman at gmail.com has reassigned Bugzilla Automation <bugzilla at FreeBSD.org>'s
request for maintainer-feedback to pkg at FreeBSD.org:
Bug 203882: ports-mgmt/pkg: pkg check -d misses libraries that are symlinks
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=203882



--- Description ---
pkg-1.6 does not handle shareable library dependencies that are symlinks.
# pkg check -d gnome-vfs
Checking gnome-vfs: 100%
gnome-vfs has require a missing libraries: libcom_err.so
gnome-vfs has require a missing libraries: libgssapi_krb5.so
gnome-vfs has require a missing libraries: libkrb5.so

All are present and the port works correctly, but, because the port links to a
symlink, pkg shows it as missing. Note: This example involves unversioned
entries, but it also applies to versioned shareables that are symlinks.
