No. After the updated package has been released you file the bugs to the packages depending on the old libs :-) After the last one has been updated you remove them from your package. > One more question: If two versions of a library are installed on one > system, which one is being used during linking? Usually the latest as it is detected during autoconf/libtool/pkgconfig etc. I never had a problem with adding old libs for new compiles.
