No. libmpfr4 3.1.6-1 was built from mpfr4 3.1.6-1 and libmpfr6 4.0.1-1 was built from mpfr4 4.0.1-1. The package names are different due to ABI incompatibility between MPFR 3.1 (which implements interfaces 4 and 5) and MPFR 4.0 (which implements interface 6). -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
