That might be a signal a human can understand, but the build system won't catch it. The goal is to make sure the build system doesn't generate broken binary packages. I think the .shlibs file is the way to go. That way the build system either can make a strict version dependency, which at least makes sure the package is flagged as uninstallable when the lib is upgraded, or maybe something could be done so the build system throws an error telling you that you aren't supposed to be linking to this library. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJRInjaAAoJEJrBOlT6nu75DJgH/0XMC7O53eOYr0axj4C8UduW zI4X13pE+G6r1KSHK+8UDunw6jqqhiVpIdn7SfN9PKa3JqmzUhUQVJp/HIEgWRSA sw15yc2ZzPzp9oucVRto6FPTNNPw0/ZmQcixVRGQlKswR8gIty50S+VtdkIy26Xn JitNIPCnSD4ayiytRLvcjcXtuLQoeTN4eUk0mAnDCk1II6bOiTLLi//WFSm7scby J9c8HPKMgZ7Odku2RayYsVt0aINnIedV4BF5Xk2g5cYgbVnn3gXdlldOPbNcmZiK XYQK3UqP9GOK/itpDMg1nDS98HA0yHjOtui7UcDygouctsLaUnT/3ukDpQNkGEk= =OnDB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
