Therefore: libzthread9 is the one to go, with a 2.2.11 version field. You could also use something like libzthread2.2-9 but that would only make sense if you had two branches of the lib being developed at the same time, and had the possibility of many sonames in the 2.2 branch and many others in the 2.3 branch, for example (like libgtk1.2 and libgtk2.0 I guess). All of this is better explained in policy and maybe I'm wrong with some assumptions, so do your reading =] Cheers -- Leo Costela <costelaaa@ig.com.br> | <costela@debian.org> | <costela@pop.com.br> Key Fingerprint: 8AE6CDFF6535192FB5B659212262D36F7ADF9466 "you must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest... with... a herring!"
