Nice, new example to add to my ever-growing list. > Sam Hartman thought there were issues on some architectures when the > libdb issue was resolved, and it wasn't simply a matter of just using > versioned symbols. Well, *every* arch Debian runs on needs proper ld support, and as usual it is Debian who hits the bugs first. Big deal, they get fixed... > Maybe this is related to bug #140490? Err, let me see... Well, it is rather obvious one wants to version only the symbol he provides, and not ANY symbols he got from anywhere else. #140490 is a bug alright, but not with versioning per si. It is a bug caused by improper versioning of symbols one does not 'own'. > Changing to versioned symbols would also break every binrary > already around too, I am not sure how to solve this issue. No, it would not. It would break NEW binaries if they get installed in OLD systems without versioned libraries. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
