Ah, sorry. I was mixing up soname with shlibs when I wrote that. For the problem I was trying to solve (etch backport), we need an shlibs bump. I suppose a soname bump would also be in order, but that's absolutely not required for our purpose (i.e. getting rid of the Conflicts). > AIUI there was new functions in 2.15.21 and the shlibs weren't bumped. > In this case this should be fixed in 2.20 as they had to be bumped to > 2.19 anyway.
