In fact, the package name has changed to > libavcodec54. So nothing wrong with the dependency as far as I can tell. > Maybe I've picked the wrong example, the actual problem was with libavdevice53, the same soname is used for either 0.8.5-1 and 9.3-1, but 9.3-1 links to libavcodec54 while 0.8.5-1 links to libavcodec53, so my binary ended up importing either libavcodec53 and libavcodec54 when both were installed and did not work. I think it will be enough to require libavdevice53 (<< 6:9) in my case. Thanks, Antonio -- Antonio Ospite http://ao2.it A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
