Although the public ABI of libelf is stable and should never break, the elfutils tools (at least readelf) also use some internals from libelf, which isn't public ABI/API. So the elfutils tools (if packaged separately from libelf) should depend on the exact same version of the elfutils libelf library being installed. The same holds true for libdw/libasm if packaged separately. They always have to be upgraded in lockstep. Other packages that only use the public interfaces of libelf (or libdw/libasm) can use whatever version that provides the public symbols they are providing. I guess this isn't really documented upstream. Sorry about that. Cheers, Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
