There are some ... plus there are some more, which I didn't find while inspecting the libraries. The ones I found were tagcoll, and exiv2 not showing up in my initial batch, but were tagcoll and exiv2 symbols from the template headers were included in another library libfoo, and then trying to build something depending on libfoo failed without rebuilding that libfoo. So what do we want to do about the default action (always rename, or keep the name)? Certainly some things will break if you don't rename, however you could rename the library later too once you see the actual breakage. Another way to reduce renamings would be to only rename the lowest library in a library stack (e.g. tagcall in tagcall/libept/wibble/..., glibmm in glibmm/gtkmm/pangomm/cairomm/...), because almost everything depends on the low level dependency as well. Not sure how many more stacks we would have. Matthias -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

What I heard from other distros is that they handle this just with a rebuild. Of course Debian can do this as well, but it probably will make partial upgrades not working.
