There's currently an discussion on debian-devel “Improving dependencies on shared libraries” where it was said that you should bump the symbol version if you change the behaviour. I don't know if you use symbol versions in SLang. http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2007/05/msg00937.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2007/06/msg00136.html Bye, Jörg. -- Wenn Du jedesmal stehen bleibst, wenn ein Hund bellt, wirst du Deine Reise nie beenden.
