> No because it is overcomplicated This isn't a problem for you, I'm doing the work (I have already managed to write a program to detect the ABI, a wrapper generator and patched dpkg to move libraries; I still have to do shlibs support and hook the wrapper generator to dpkg). If it isn't accepted, I'll just further patch dpkg and apt to ignore the bogus conflicts that would be added and use it locally. > and dpkg has no business making this kind > of on-the-fly adjustment. Of course it would be better to avoid having to do things like this but unfortunately there is simply no other solution that doesn't break existing G++ v2 packages. By modifying dpkg, no other packages need to be modified (with the exception of changing the names and pre-depending on the new dpkg for users' convenience).
