You are looking at the wrong part of the wrong package, because libssl is one of the few exceptional packages which really do have that soname, $ objdump -p /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7 | grep SONAME SONAME libssl.so.0.9.7 Call your package libssh-0.11-0. Quoting from the libpkg-guide (which itself is a quote from vorlon) I pointed out to you and you probably have not read yet: $ objdump -p /path/to/libfoo-bar.so.1.2.3 | sed -n -e's/^[[:space:]]*SONAME[[:space:]]*//p' | sed -e's/\([0-9]\)\.so\./\1-/; s/\.so\.//' regards, junichi -- Junichi Uekawa, Debian Developer http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/ 183A 70FC 4732 1B87 57A5 CE82 D837 7D4E E81E 55C1 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
