So,

        I spent a while digging into this and trying to patch it to remove the
changes and create something that could be back-compat, so we could
downgrade the .so version again.

        Then - I noticed that (apparently) SL 10.1 and SLED10 shipped with the
new ABI anyway; but (presuambly) we just failed to bump the .so number;
at least - I'm giving up until Wed. on the grounds of
incomprehensibility - but it looks like:

        * abi breakage occured *
        * SL10.1/code-10 ships *
        * .so versions bumped
        - now -
        * Gnome 2.16 ships *

        Which makes it look like code-10 shipped with a libebook that (while
having a different .so number) is fully compatible with the current ABI,
(and yet incompatible with the previous version with the same .so
number).

        I guess that turns the problem into (mostly) a SUSE issue that we can
work around by some duplication/linking of the the various libraries
twice in our packages - [ugh]; and of course - reverting the ABI
breakage wouldn't help us - it'd prolly just further confuse an already
messy situation.

        Unless I'm confused again ?

        HTH,

                Michael.
