right, but that as well is a lot of work, which I think is too much for something that’s still under heavy development such as fso-frameworkd. Also, for fso-frameworkd (where only one version can run at a time), different packages names such as for shared libraries are not the right thing to do – the reason why you prefer that for libraries over strict dependencies is that you _want_ to install two different versions at a time. (At least, that’s my impresion) Greetings, Joachim -- Joachim "nomeata" Breitner Debian Developer nome...@debian.org | ICQ# 74513189 | GPG-Keyid: 4743206C JID: nome...@joachim-breitner.de | http://people.debian.org/~nomeata
