[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] [RFC] Automatically generate deps for dlopen() deps? (Issue #3032)

[Lennart Poettering]

Many of systemd's library dependencies were turned into dlopen() based dependencies in the recent years/months. For classic package managers these are hard to automatically turn into package dependencies, because they are not mentioned in the ELF header.

In this issue over on the systemd project I am proposing to change something about it: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/32234

I was wondering if there's any interest in this from the rpm camp?

The concept is generic, but systemd would be the first providers of this information I guess. You can extra this kind of "weak" dlopen library dependencies via readelf -p .note.uapi.dlopen or an equivalent command from ELF.

Anyway, would love your input on that issue, in case you are interested in this.
