Hi, I see the problem, anyway I don't know how to properly fix it. I see in the boinc-manager dependencies only listed Depends: ${shlibs:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
IIRC misc:Depends puts libboinc7 into manager dependencies, and according to clientgui/Makefile.am it is linked to the mananger boincmgr_LDFLAGS = $(LIBBOINC) $(SQLITE3_LIBS) $(LIBNOTIFY_LIBS) $(CLIENTGUILIBS) $(BOINC_EXTRA_LIBS) $(CLIENTLIBS) `pkg-config --libs gtk+-2.0` -lno So in order to avoid this link you first need to remove libboinc from the boinc manager. This is an upstream issue, not a debian one, can you report upstream? objdump -p `which boincmgr` NEEDED libboinc.so.7 G.
