Juust to clarify (to make sure I understood the problem):
pototo:
foo depends on libbar and libbaz
libbar doesn't depend on anything
woody:
foo depends on libbar
libbar depends on libbaz
The question being, if I install foo from woody, how can I be sure
that libbaz will be installed?
I thought the solution was obvious - change the shared library
dependancy information on libbar
