No, the problem is rather that the new version of kimageannotator bumps the SONAME of the shared library from libkImageAnnotator.so.0.3.2 to libkImageAnnotator.so.0.4.0, which is a big no-no. This also means that kimageannotator sets the SONAME of its shared library to the full version number, basically breaking compatibility even in patch releases; this is _bad_... Also, the Debian packaging of it does not help detecting this kind of situations, as names the library package as if the SONAME was only "0": $ lintian -I -E --pedantic --no-tag-display-limit libkimageannotator0_0.3.2-2_amd64.deb W: libkimageannotator0: package-name-doesnt-match-sonames libkImageAnnotator0.3.2 I: libkimageannotator0: no-symbols-control-file usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libkImageAnnotator.so.0.3.2 -- Pino Toscano
