9.1-RELEASE on amd64. libchk reports the following libraries (among others) as unreferenced: /usr/lib/libBlocksRuntime.so.0 /usr/lib/libform.so.5 /usr/lib/libformw.so.5 /usr/lib/libgpib.so.3 /usr/lib/libgssapi_ntlm.so.10 /usr/lib/libgssapi_spnego.so.10 /usr/lib/libhistory.so.8 /usr/lib/liblwres.so.80 /usr/lib/libmenu.so.5 /usr/lib/libmenuw.so.5 /usr/lib/libmilter.so.5 /usr/lib/libpanelw.so.5 /usr/lib/librpcsec_gss.so.1 /usr/lib/libstdbuf.so.1 /usr/lib/libsupc++.so.1 /usr/lib/libthread_db.so.3 All these are part of base. I note that in each case there is a <name>.so symlink pointing to the relevant library, as is, I believe, accepted best practice. Would I be correct in assuming that the reason libchk is reporting these as unreferenced is that everything which is actually using them is referencing the symlink? Or is libchk clever enough to resolve symlinks, and there is a different reason?
