May I override the lintian warning about > this issue? sonames go in the library package name so that different versions of the library with the same name but different soversions are parallel- installable. libptp2, which you've suggested, is libptp soversion 2. What you said you want is what lintian suggests, libptp2 soversion 1: "libptp2-1" This means you'll get libptp2-dev and libptp2-bin (if you need a -bin) associated packages. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, MCSE 8th year CompSci/Asian Studies student, ANU The Boss, Bubblesworth Pty Ltd (ABN: 51 095 284 361) Paul.Hampson@Anu.edu.au "No survivors?
