Exactly so. Old timers might remember that the Linux kernel used the opposite convention up to the release of Linux 2.6.0 What it mean for PARI is that all pari-2.7.x have the same ABI and sonames while the pari-2.6.x had different ABI and sonames. The soname of pari 2.7.x is libpari-gmp-tls.so.4, the soname of pari 2.9.x will be libpari-gmp-tls.so.5 but the soname of pari 2.8.x is libpari-gmp-tls-2.8.so.x (which depends on x). So the package name 'libpari-gmp-tls4' is not appropriate for pari-2.8.x Cheers, -- Bill. <ballo...@debian.org> Imagine a large red swirl here.
