Here's an example where it would be relevant. libfoo1 and its dependants gnome-foo and kfoo are in testing. kfoo depends on libc6 2.3. On 2008-01-01, libc6 2.6 is uploaded to unstable. On 2008-01-02, a libfoo bumping soname to 2 is uploaded to unstable. gnome-foo and kfoo are binNMU-ed without issues. The new kfoo binary doesn't depend on libc6 symbols introduced after 2.3. Bug 666666, a serious libc6 2.6 regression, is reported. On 2008-01-12, 666666 is still not fixed. Without libc6 symbols files, 666666 blocks the libfoo soname transition. With symbols files, 666666 is irrelevant to that transition. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
