Yes, but this is the way shared library versioning works. When you build something you link against e.g. /usr/lib/libarchive.so. The linker follows = the symlink to libarchive.so.6, and then the key point is that it stores libarchive.so.6 as the dependency. So that binary will always use libarchive.so.6. When you update and libarchive.so is now a symlink to libarchive.so.7, and build some software, it follows the symlink and stores libarchive.so.7 as the dependency. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
