The important question would I suppose be what does RPM/Yum do with
them...
I've a nasty feeling it uses lapack by default, but will use atlas for
dep solving if it's already installed.
Shortest name wins, so atlas gets pulled in (when it doesn't actually
meet a needed dependency). I would think the bug is in the atlas
packaging; the RPM shouldn't list a shared lib outside the standard
directories as a provide.
This is similar to mrtg vs. perl-SNMP_Session; mrtg has its own private
copy of the SNMP_Session perl modules, but they are found by the
auto-provides (so the RPM lists them). Then mrtg is a shorter name than
perl-SNMP_Session, so a package requiring "perl(SNMP_Session)" gets a
broken install.
