Description Marco Rebhan 2021-10-30 10:01:19 UTC 
SUMMARY
Shared libraries are listed as executables if their filenames don't end in .so. Often, libraries are versioned, e.g. "libQt5Core.so.5.15.2", which causes them to lose the "shared library" type in dolphin. The "libQt5Core.so" symlink to the library is still listed as a shared library as expected.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Look for a shared library in /usr/lib that is versioned, e.g. Qt

OBSERVED RESULT
File type is listed as "executable"

EXPECTED RESULT
File type is listed as "shared library"
