Funnily that does not even cover the problem at hand, which is dropping of one of the same-SONAME libraries. You are thinking towards splitting libopenmpi into 9 library packages (one package per library). A relevant question would be whether they are independent, or whether mixing libraries from different OpenMPI versions in one binary might break. If libmpi_cxx from OpenMPI 4 does not work with libmpi from OpenMPI 5, then co-installability is anyway not an option and having them in one package is the easiest solution. > Paul >... cu Adrian
