[lxc-devel] Dependency on correct lxc-libs missing in the spec?

Hi everyone,

as I have multiple repositories enabled on my openSUSE machine, each
of with contains a different version of lxc and lxc-libs, I found that
it is possible mix versions of lxc and lxc-libs. That means, that lxc
does not depend on a matching version of lxc-libs.

Basically, if I just tell zypper to install lxc-1.0.7, the lxc-libs
package would remain at whatever is installed at the moment. Probably
not what the user wants.

Adding a Requires to the libs-section in the spec should help, I
guess. I'll try it locally and report back.

Regards,
Johannes
