Then it is wrong to split these into separate packages. > > In any case, already now the gtk+2-shlibs package contains a lot of > stuff that will make it impossible to have several versions of it > coexist. A couple more files in /sw/bin and /sw/sbin won't change much. You can have both gtk 1.2 and gtk 2. If there is ever need for different versions of gtk2 to exist in parallel it can be achieved by program suffix (assuming the gtk configure script supports it correctly). Since the library needs the executables installing two different versions of shlibs in parallel won't work anyway even if the packages technically don't conflict. Note that there is probably the same issue with pango executables and shlibs on which gtk2 depends.
