Looking at the package, it seems to me that those *.so.* links are useless (and may even be confusing). The devel symlinks /usr/lib/libcucul.so -> libcaca.so /usr/lib/libcucul++.so -> libcaca++.so are very important for backward compatibility, to be able to still link against libcucul and get it right. > Dependant external programs simply need to be rebuilt.

No, since the linker won't be able to find it, the soname is now SONAME libcaca.so.0 even for programs linked against libcucul. -- Pat -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
