In the future, consider following the glibc pattern of fixing the soname for all but truly-world-breaking changes, and using symbol versions to annotate API additions. That way a package that uses an API introduced in dyninst 8.2 will get an rpm Requires for foo.so(dyninst-8.2)(64bit), which will make yum automatically search for a sufficiently new dyninst package without breaking the soname. Minor numbers really do not belong in sonames, for this exact reason. Every soname string is essentially a unique major version number. - ajax -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
