Even Unix had this solved to a great extent in that applications could link with specific versions of libraries, like say:
/lib64/libreadline.so.6 -> libreadline.so.6.2 /lib64/libreadline.so.6.2* /lib64/libreadline.so.7 -> libreadline.so.7.0 /lib64/libreadline.so.7.0*
However, current practice is to remove previous lib versions and thus break any application that might rely on the older version, which seems myopic, at best. Sorry for my ignorance, but isn't this motivated with security and maintenance needs? E.g. if a library has a security flaw, and is not maintained good enough, the

AFAIR this was one of the major fears and critizisms to container based installs of not distribution based software (as the argument went, this would make usure if libraries used for these installs would be maintained / maintainable.). However I did not follow this up and so forgive me if this is complete BS :-) Any educational effort will be appreciated though. _________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Ihre E-Mail-Postfächer sicher & zentral an einem Ort.
