The wildcard in the files list is particularly dangerous because GNOME
packages are updated by a script; humans only look when there are build
failures. And unlike most other GNOME libraries, gnome-desktop does not
pretend to have a stable API.
I've junt changed it to:
%{_libdir}/libgnome-desktop-3.so.17*
Belatedly, I realize that will break if the soname is ever bumped to 170.
What is considered the best practice for this?
I usually use something like the following:
%global somajor 17
...
%{_libdir}/libgnome-desktop-3.so.%{somajor}{,.*}
