Unfortunatly it will not avoid all of them. For now, after upgrading xenocara, but with packages still linked to freetype.26 I get this from firefox: firefox:/usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.so.26.0: /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.so.27.0 : WARNING: symbol(af_blue_strings) size mismatch, relink your program For the extra major bumps to be useful in this situation, ld.so would need to only load the revisions of the libs that the program was linked against, and ignore the more recent versions But with dlopen() which doesn't do versionning it won't be trivial. -- Matthieu Herrb
