This is usually managed by links. So for example, looking for libz.so...
$ sudo find / -name libz.so [sudo] password: /usr/lib/libz.so $ ls -l /usr/lib/libz.so lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2011-04-15 16:32 /usr/lib/libz.so -> /lib/libz.so.1.2.3.4 The 'file' libz.so in /usr/lib is just a pointer to the specific version, so the 'locate' just has to find libz.so and follow the link to the right version.
