--- Comment #15 from Michal Ambroz rebus@seznam.cz --- Radare has custom build which doesn't have 2 links to library, but just one. For example: /lib64/libr_core.so -> /lib64/libr_core.so.1.6.0
Radare2 is linked against the /lib64/libr_core.so: ldd `which radare2` linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffce9dfb000) libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00007f349242f000) libr_core.so => /lib64/libr_core.so (0x00007f34920e1000) libr_parse.so => /lib64/libr_parse.so (0x00007f3491e8f000) ...
So it is needed in the binary package in order to run, not just for linking.
