Can you see the plethora of symlinks?Logically a higher version of library would not break a function provided in a lower version just to keep compatibility.So,symlinking a higher version to a lower version name should still work.
No it wont, libraries change SONAME for a reason, it is not just an arbitrary "let's bump version number to annoy users" , but because they are belived to be API/ABI incompatible. Henne, what you think.. this report looks INVALID to me. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
