No, the symlink from -rdmav2.so needs to go to a real file not another symlink. > If we move libmlx5.so to libibverbs-dev, how will symlink be > created? libmlx5.so is the 'devel' symlink, it is only used by the compiler during linking which is why it must be placed in the -dev package. > What will user see after installing libibverbs + ibverbs-provider? libmlx5-rdmav2.so should be ../libmlx5.so.1.0.13 > And what will be in case of libibverbs-dev + ibverbs-provider? Then you get libmlx5.so -> libmlx5.so.1.0.13 and the man pages and header files. libibverbs-dev will need to depend on the ibverbs-provider package also. This is all also true for RPM systems.
