Why do you think that only libraries are the problem? I thought also executables can export symbols which will be used by the dynamic linker to resolve unresolved symbols. So loading a library which needs that symbols would also cause a crash... (please correct me when I am wrong). The first thing I noticed: I forgot to remove duplicated entries from my list (sry for that... sort|uniq would have been to easy) and that I include the \+b[0-9]* stuff (sed 's/+b[0-9]$//' would be useful too). It looks like your list is a subset of mine. So it is at least a good start... but I am irritated that you don't have things like libopensync-plugin- gnokii_0.22-1 (ok, it is not buildable right now... but it is still a problematic library/plugin) or libbz2-ruby_0.2.2-2
