I believe the reason is that for a long time, upstream did not manage their soname versioning correctly, leaving it at zero despite breaking ABI, and finally with parted 3.0, jumped to 2 since they removed the filesystem apis. So debian packaged the library as -0debian1. I'm not sure why they put the 0 in the -dev package as well. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJS/iZ5AAoJEI5FoCIzSKrwdCgIAKRiJuOjrCgCGJu/QdoR1b1G YjVhjkU73NxR7KT74jnCEMGDncYPdf3qQyUSqbSdijUT6tkUB2bP5mQooqic96kH OAAFPcMzM3pxYdzElusC1IHEOV4Y4kPCL8Kq0xutNu05nDMOgx1zZY+Iu0BRGkqF WkQ2df9VkOL/r/f68iXU9jC68iHdTv6Cj5xsNJ+D/MK/QksYg15ST+V3praFhsAo MSWoN2ArGz0db7MqM/QrNHFn2L1c5VgOq8R+EnViB7Q1J9/RW0/y9W1TPsbCBE+5 AJGhdAkcvqpCrlu1Y/w1MrAXcekKlhwJtFe0FGXss4oA7kKeBRCKZrUaaidyik0= =ayLd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
