This would work at packaging time, not at install time. Basically what we need is to identify incompatible library changes (besides never installing with an older version than build with) some way. We could use a LIBVER variable for that. It would be similar in function as SLOT, but it would not say anything about ability to coexist. It just says something about library conflicts. > (still dirty.. but better than what RPM does ;) Binary packages are dirty ;-) Anyone some idea what debian does to this respect?
