This will cause problems when programs are running while packages are updated on disk. That program then tries to dlopen 18-0.so when there is already 18-1.so installed. Relevant when the first oauth connection is made way after startup. This is trading one problem for another, but within-a-major ABI changes should be much rarer than normal minor updates with applications restarting only later. Alternatively, there could be a dedicated SONAME for the plugin that only changes when necessary, but perhaps the simple "18.so" solution is good enough. Christoph
