Cool beans...

Next time you (or anyone else) sees an unable to resolve message, the key
item is that the message text includes the EXACT file the loader was trying
to open.

If THAT EXACT NAME isn't found, it fails - nothing 'similar' works.


How the loader makes 'similar' names work is that the install program for
the package creates symlinks, based on it's explicit knowledge that 1.8
provides the 1 feature set, but 2 does (or does not).  The way to see this
is to look at the /usr/lib files (or wherever) and look for real files vs.
links.  But it's the package that does this, with it's unique knowledge of
the program, not the loader.
