I already statet on this list that I wouldn't included that version in the package name. In my opinion the soname is not exactly correlated to the software version - even when the soname has to change each time a new gdal version is released due to the not yet stable C++ ABI. I would suggest to add the soname to the package name and use the gdal version as debian version, i.e. libgdal<soname>-dev-1.3.1-1, libgdal<soname>-1.3.1-1 etc. Silke -- Intevation GmbH Georgstrasse 4 49074 Osnabrück, Germany http://intevation.de http://intevation.de/~silke FreeGIS.org http://freegis.org/
