The 1 is the shared library major version number. 0.5 is GStreamer's version number, included in the name of the shared library: [goetz@klama goetz]$ rpm -qpl /RPMS/libgstreamer0.5_1-0.5.0-1mdk.i586.rpm /usr/lib/libgstcontrol-0.5.so.1 /usr/lib/libgstcontrol-0.5.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libgstreamer-0.5.so.1 /usr/lib/libgstreamer-0.5.so.1.0.0 rpmlint would complain if the package was called libgstreamer1. Also I don't know the versioning scheme of future releases. There could come a libgstreamer-0.6.so.1, so it wouldn't be a good idea to name the package libgstreamer1. -- G�tz Waschk <> master of computer science <> University of Rostock http://wwwtec.informatik.uni-rostock.de/~waschk/waschk.asc for PGP key --> Logout Fascism! <--
