Unless upstream is doing insane things and the distributions are failing to do their job and catch it, removing a function would require changing the soname; it could no longer be liblz4.so.1. If your binary package requires liblz4.so.1 then it needs to be present. That's always been the case. The existence of *another* library, even if it has a similar name like liblz4.so.2, is utterly irrelevant. There's no *new* problem here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Openvpn-devel mailing list Openvpn-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openvpn-devel
