We need that symlink.
Yes, we need it and, if I'm reading correctly, Laurent doesn't say the oposite. BTW, Debian also has a versioned development package and the neutral symbolic link. The symbolic link ensures the neutrality with regard to the version. Thus: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 251 Nov 27 20:56 libpng12.pc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Nov 27 20:56 libpng.pc -> libpng12.pc -- Peter
