Hi list,

a bug was recently filed against gnumeric [1], in which the program refused to run due to user not having updated his whole package set and a symbol being missing in the older libgsf he had installed. How are such issues supposed to be handled? Surely, manually introducing a versioned dependency for every library is going to be painful. Given that soname bump is required only for symbols removal/change, is it that if someone cherry-picks updates, then he/she keeps all the pieces in case something breaks? Thank you for the input in advance.

Regards,
Julian
