No. > I don't see a rule prohibiting that Public shared libraries must be installed in a package with the name based on the library SONAME (see Policy 8.1; you must read the whole of Policy 8 when packaging a public shared library). Even if it's fine for your package (so the tool is less important than the library), packages with different SONAMEs of the same library should be co-installable. > Does this happen or is it allowed? I'm sure it happens from time time. It's not allowed. -- WBR, wRAR
