If you will do everything correct then every should work (since nfs-utils must be linked with *1.4* prefix of libraries, while pgbouncer1.7 must be linekd with *2.0* prefix, so two libraries can exist at the same time without any issues, this is not related to headers since there can be problems, but you don't need them since you have binaries). And you don't need to rename anything, since libraries must have version prefixes, only -dev package must contain symlinks from .so, i.e.: libevent.so -> libevent-2.1.so.1 *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to [email protected] with unsubscribe libevent-users in the body.
