The current Packman package is called libconvolve0 (which looks like a typo to me, especially because the -devel package still is named libconvolve-devel), and therefore it isn't seen as an update by any package manager... I just posted a bug report to the package maintainer, should be fixed soon. Something else i find quite confusing: very many -devel packages from SUSE/Packman contain the unversioned .so symlink for the package. Maybe I don't understand the reason for this, but that just doesn't make sense to me... I thought usually only static libs and header files go to the -devel packages. We (jacklab people) had to ask the jack packager to move that file to the main package because some application opened the jack library via this file, which forced the user to install the jack-devel package, or create the symlink manually, if they could figure out at all what was going on... _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-user
