Bug#1023055: libzia so filename contains upstream version (only)



Source: libzia
Version: 4.36-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

I am working to update tucnak and libzia to 4.37 and am finally fully
grokking something Christoph mentioned a while back about the tight
coupling between these packages.

The libzia-4.37 package is ready to upload.  However, doing so will
immediately break the current version of tucnak in the archive until it
is rebuilt, since it expects to find /usr/lib/<triplet>/libzia-4.36.so.
Only to see if it would work, I tested the version of tucnak 4.36
in the archive against a locally install libzia-4.37 by creating a
symlink.  This works fine, but the current situation seems generally
"broken."

Is there a reason why libzia shouldn't install a libzia.so or
libzia.0.so symlink to the currently installed version of the library so
we can potentially upgrade the library without necessarily breaking
tucnak installs (and vice-versa)?  Or if there is a good reason why this
will never work, should we combine tucnak and libzia into a single
package?

Thanks,
tony
