Could very well be.

It did contain all libraries not ending with *.so, now as I got sick of this I
threw those ones in too and everyone's happy. Mandrake has a similar "package
verifying tool" (rpmlint) as debian, and I got a lot of complaints about
these files not being in a devel package. Anyway the subversion packages in
Mandrake Linux Cooker should work now.
