There's an argument to be made that shlibs files should be provided by the -dev packages, not the library packages. We should at least think about whether the symbols files belong in the -dev package. They're used to generate dependencies for packages at build time, and at build time you have the -dev package installed. When you're installing an already-built package, it's not obvious that you're going to care about the symbols files. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
