New comment by ahesford on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/25134#issuecomment-700729997 Comment: `shlib_provides` is used to tell `xbps-src` about shared objects it doesn't automatically find, for example if a package keeps an unversioned file like `/usr/share/somelib/liblib.so` and you want to link other packages against that library. In this case, you should remove those lines. As for `common/shlibs`, it doesn't *really* matter that libraries are included unless you want to link against them in another package. However, I'd say that, for consistency, if you have to have one of the libraries listed (which is the case here), you might as well include both. The exception is if the libraries are in some private directory like `/usr/lib/xkbcommon/libxkbregistry.so.0`, which will be picked up by `xbps-src` but are probably not intended for public consumption. What dependants have you tested against this update? They claim API and ABI compatibility across the big version jump, but given the broad list of dependants, it would be good to do some sanity checks.
