+	  The ding-libs packages contain a set of libraries used by
+	  the System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) and other
+	  projects and provide functions to manipulate filesystem
+	  pathnames (libpath_utils), a hash table to manage storage
+	  and access time properties (libdhash), a data type to
+	  collect data in a hierarchical structure (libcollection), a
+	  dynamically growing, reference-counted array (libref_array),
+	  and a library to process configuration files in
+	  initialization format (INI) into a library collection data
+	  structure (libini_config).
