[...] No, that does not work. wget would be looking for unversioned references to nettle-symbols, and given the choice ot two differently versioned ones it will not prefer either over the other. This one crashes: current wget binary built against libnettle4.so combined with gnutls, built against a nettle with versioned symbols (tested with either 3.1 or a patched 3.0) even if libnettle4.so is also replaced with a patched version using versioned symbols. cu Andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
