It uses the output of ldd to determine if a file has broken dynamic linkage dependencies. If it does the owning package will be rebuilt. > Running it > with a --soname looks for binaries linked against existing libraries, > but whose version is now different. So they do different things. Again it uses ldd, but this time to check the sonames of the libraries that the file is dynamically linked to. If the given soname is found then the owning package is rebuilt. This will happen even if ldd would have shown the dynamic link as being OK. -- Ian. EOM -- [email protected] mailing list
