Actually, the description for the new flash player suggests it does the same thing for extra libs...
The argument put forward by Colin Watson - that it adds complexity to upgrades - is plain silly since the -dev packages must be able to be upgraded too. That is to say, all that "extra" compexity is already in the package system. Moving it from one package to another doesn't introduce any extra complexity at all. However, since I'm not a Ubuntu user, it's no big deal to me... was just pointing out a POLA violation which could make certain types of precompiled binaries fail to work. Given that my understanding of Ubuntu was that everything should "Just Work" it seemed like something which should be reported. Sorry 'bout the noise. -- Without lib*.so, dlopen() becomes fairly useless. https://launchpad.net/bugs/39492 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
