Checking: lib64bpf1 ?  use to be lib64bpf0

Keywords: (none) => feedback
CC: (none) => fri

Feeling adventurous, I in drakrpm manually selected lib64bpf1 for install, like all other relevant updates for this kernel on this system.
$ rpm -qa |grep lib64bpf
lib64bpf0-5.15.62-1.mga8
lib64bpf1-5.19.3-1.mga8
And drakrpm list lib64bpf0 with the icon of non-uninstallable system packages, but lib64bpf1 like a normal uninstallable package.

BOINC detects CUDA and OpenCL. But no such work unit to try.

Tested:  Plasma desktop; using Thunderbird, LibreOffice, Ktorrent, Nextcloud client, Syncthing, Firefox ESR (video ok) java program FriBOK, Flatpak program KiCad... 

Tests OK as VirtualBox Host:

Guest 1: my usual MSW7pro-64, tests OK: dynamic guest window resizing, bidirectional clipboard, host shared folders write protected and not, USB2  memory stick read&write (using upstream extension pack), video playing OK in Firefox when restricting BOINC to only use 70%CPU, all cores.

Guest 2: OK: 2x BOINC LHC@home ATLAS simulation virtual machine 3CPU.

Yes, lib(64)bpf major has been bumped upstream from 0 to 1 with the 5.19 series kernels. this is not a problem ...

I also had to select lib64bpf1 manually; it has not been offered as an update of lib64bpf0. For lambda users who will simply update to kernel 5.19.3 once it has been validated by QA, isn't there a risk that most of them will miss lib64bpf1? Could this cause problems for machines which have kernel 5.19.3 + lib64bpf0 only?

nope, there is nothing built against lib(64)bpf1 in Mga8, which is why nothing pulls it in. 

and the whole purpose of our libification with libmajor in the name is so there is no package conflict, and a package with a new libmajor should never obsolete an old lib package as that would force a rebuild of a lot of packages in a stable release...

of course if something that depends on lib(64)bpf would be pushed to backports, that would pick up the new dep...
