unfortunately I think there isn't a way. BTW if you do dlopen of a library, there is no guarantee that the latest release will work, so even if such a way would exist, it won't be the safe thing to do. shlibs:Depends guarantees that the correct library is picked up at runtime, and if you want to dlopen it I guess the only way is to manually runtime-depend on the library itself. (we had the same libpng related discussion before on #820566 I think) Gianfranco
