how to package conflicting libraries ?

[Eric Gentilini <eric.gentilini@eleve.emn.fr>]

Hi,

Considering a given library libfoo, which of another version supporting
multithreading is available, called libfoo-mt.
libfoo-mt offers all the functionnalities offered by libfoo and programs
compiling with libfoo compile with libfoo-mt (binary versions linked with
libfoo-mt won't run with libfoo and vice-versa).
Should libfoo-mt be marked as creating a conflict with libfoo ? Or should it
be sonamed "libfoomt" and depending executables linked with that name ?

PS : more precisely, I'm talking about libmico and micomt for those who want
to know :)

thanks
