--- Comment #3 from Georg Sauthoff <[email protected]> ---
Ok, good point, I've added the alternatives link with a %ghost directive.


Yes, it makes sense to upstream the patch.

I already reported the issue the patch addresses to the author, via email, last
weekend,
but I haven't received a reply, so far.

However, I think there isn't really a way around such a change for fixing the
SONAME, if you want to use the library as documented by the author:

> The idea is that the OS can install librandombytes-kernel by default, but the 
> sysadmin can install librandombytes-openssl to transparently switch all of 
> the randombytes() applications to RAND_bytes (for example, via Debian's 
> /etc/alternatives mechanism) if profiling shows that this switch is important 
> for overall system performance.
