Description

SUSE rpmlint complains bitterly about three shared library dependencies:

libcephfs_jni1.x86_64: E: shlib-fixed-dependency (Badness: 440) libcephfs1 = 1:0.94.1+git.1433933642.719eb1c-1.1
libradosstriper1.x86_64: E: shlib-fixed-dependency (Badness: 440) librados2 = 1:0.94.1+git.1433933642.719eb1c
librbd1.x86_64: E: shlib-fixed-dependency (Badness: 440) librados2 = 1:0.94.1+git.1433933642.719eb1c-1.1
Your shared library package requires a fixed version of another package. The
intention of the Shared Library Policy is to allow parallel installation of
multiple versions of the same shared library, hard dependencies likely make
that impossible. Please remove this dependency and instead move it to the
runtime uses of your library.

I have verified that changing '=' to '>=' in the three relevant lines of the spec file makes rpmlint happy - example:

-Requires:      librados2 = %{epoch}:%{version}
+Requires:      librados2 >= %{epoch}:%{version}

But I'd like to consult this solution before opening a pull request.

shlib-fixed-dependency is a SUSE-specific rpmlint check, and changing the '=' to '>=' would conflict with Fedora packaging policy, so I resolved the issue by adding a filter for shlib-fixed-dependency downstream.
