Debian has package names that follow upstream SONAME, e.g. libcpupower0, libcpupower2.
The -dev package is used only for building, the resulting binary packages get dependency on library package. When there is ABI break, upstream changes SONAME, so the library package changes too and all reverse dependencies need rebuild. Can you do the same in Ubuntu? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1215411 Title: libcpupower.so is not installed from linux-tools Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in linux source package in Zesty: Invalid Status in linux source package in Eoan: In Progress Bug description: The patch for bug 1158668 installs cpupower_$(abi_version) command- line tool as well as libcpupower.so.$(abi_version). This isn't particularly suitable for projects that previously used libcpufreq and intend to migrate to libcpupower, because the libcpupower.so symlink is no longer installed. The command-line tools can also have symlinks (e.g. cpupower -> cpupower_$(abi_version)).
