Good morning, exim allows one to build lookups and other optional features as dlopened shared objects that are opened on-demand. So I could move from ...
Package: exim4-daemon-heavy Depends: libc6, ... libmariadb3, libpq5, libldap2, ... ... to: Package: exim4-daemon-modular Depends: libc6, ... Package: exim-mod-mysql Depends: libmariadb3 Package: exim-mod-postgresql Depends: libpq5 I am not too hot about adding a nontrivial number of tiny binary packages but could not come up with an alternative that handles e.g. dependency soname-bumps *gracefully* (i.e. not adding "If you are upgrading from Debian 15 please remember to run apt-get install libpq6." to release-notes or NEWS). Is there something I missed? I have considered moving these deps to suggests or recommends but that does not solve the issue (automatically install libpq6 if libpq5 was installed) and "recommending" that mariadb-users install postgres-libraries is just not the right thing. cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
