New comment by classabbyamp on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/42575#issuecomment-1454107143 Comment: `common/shlibs` is used to track what shilbs come from which packages and versions. that's used by xbps-src to generate a list of `run_depends` that combines what's in `depends=` with what shlibs are detected. `run_depends` within xbps is used to build the transaction, and `shilb-requires` and `shlib-provides` are used at a later time to check things. depending "cleanly via the .so" doesn't exist
