Linking shared lib.

FC15

I'm trying to install from the fedora repos  honeyd package and it 
requires a  dependency package  libevent-1.4.so.2 which does not exist.

I did a ln -s  libevent-2.0.so.5   libevent-1.4.so.2   in /usr/lib .

So i now have in /usr/lib  libevent-1.4.so.2 >  libevent-2.0.so.5 >  
libevent-2.0.so.5.0.1  .  But when i try to install   honeyd  I still 
get the error it needs  libevent-1.4.so.2 .

What do I do ?

The first digit on a library is the major version and indicates an API
version, so you can't just do that.

Ask yum

yum resolvedep  libevent-1.4.so.2
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
0:libevent-1.4.14b-1.fc14.i686

Problem exists on both F15 and Rawhide, reported already:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=706658
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=712446

I set the Severity on these to Urgent since it makes honeyd uninstallable.
