To make things even more confusing, in my mind, is that it isn't as simple as symbolic links.

[egreshko at meimei /]$ ll /usr/lib64/libXv.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 14 Aug 17  2014 /usr/lib64/libXv.so.1 -> libXv.so.1.0.0

[egreshko at meimei /]$ dnf whatprovides /usr/lib64/libXv.so.1

libXv-1.0.10-2.fc21.x86_64 : X.Org X11 libXv runtime library
Repo        : fedora

Again, oh well....  :-)
