Package: xforms
Version: 0.81-3

$ dpkg -L xforms
/.
/usr
/usr/doc
/usr/doc/copyright
/usr/doc/copyright/xforms
/usr/X11R6
/usr/X11R6/lib
/usr/X11R6/lib/libforms.so.0.81

This package includes a shared library, yet offers no provision for
upgradeability.  Moreover installing the latest lyx package which
depends on a different version of xforms' shared lib breaks upone
upgrade.
