Yeah OK. How about something that would be understood by depsolvers then ?

This must be a common problem, isn't it ? What do you do when an important
library changes its soname in the next version ?


1) Rebuild all packages that depend on that lib with the new library
2) Every sane depresolver will then pick up the new packages, solve those deps and update the depending packages (the whole deptree) too.


If you don't have any updated packages you're screwed anyway, no depsolver can help you with that (and i can't see a depsolver then deciding: "Oh, a new library has some out, lets grab the srpms, automatically rebuild and install them".... *shudder*)

Read ya, Phil
