I agree that if the shared libraries contain proper version information, then the package version number should not be a part of the name of the library directory. I asked about whether the libraries could go in a subdirectory because I think it would be better to have them installed in /usr/lib/octave instead of /usr/lib. Looking at /usr/lib on my Debian system, there seem to be a number of other packages that use subdirectories for library files, so maybe it is OK? jwe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
