So if we have one ddeb per source package, which generates multiple binary .debs for different libraries --- say, libext2fs, libcom_err, and libss, to take a completely random example --- and the user installs different versions of said libraries coming from different versions of the source package, won't there be a problem if there is only a single ddeb per source package? I assume you can't install multiple ddebs coming from different source packages at the same time, since the pathnames would conflict, right? - Ted -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
