[2] Well IMO the SONAME upstream chose is the correct one. In addition if the diverging distributions were to add the missing symlink everything would work, even previous versions of any package from a distribution using upstream SONAMEs. But not the other way around, as the diverging distributions would be still missing such symlink. It would be helpful if you could add this information into those bug reports, or a reference to this one. thanks, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
