Obviously the real issue is when libfoo is libpng or openssl or whatever. It almost makes you wonder if the solution is to do a LOT more slotting. Maybe with the right automation slotting could be less painful to maintain. Of course, if you take that to the ultimate extreme you'd just have every package install each file with a hash in the filename and then have /usr/bin et all be a collection of symlinks. And before you know it you're running Plan9. :) Rich
