Hi,

Not this one:

$ ls -la /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-pthread.so
- -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 34624 2005-09-02 01:53 /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-pthread.so

So this must be a special case ...

Only the first one is mentioned in the various packaging guides,
so I suppose that the format libfoo-1.2.3.so only exists for historical
reasons, right? IMHO new packages have to use the form libfoo.so.1.2.3 ?

Best Regards,
