Dear friends:
I upgraded Debian from Sarge to Etch several days ago. I then did a full
upgrade (apt-get upgrade). ALL of my sources in sources.list are labeled
ETCH. No stable and no unstable. Just etch. So, there shouldn't be any
incompatibility issue. But I noticed in Synaptic the presence of both
kdelibs3.3 and kdelibs3.4. Is this all right or is there something wrong? As
a newbie, I don't know what to make of it.
It is perfectly fine to have multiple versions of the library. In fact
(others will correct me If I am wrong) that is one of the advantages of
shared libraries - they allow multiple versions of the library to reside
on the same system.
That being said, you will also have a package called kdelibs. kdelibs
will depend on the current default of Debian. So that, when you install
kdelibs, it will automatically pull the current default. When Debian's
default is upgraded, it is just enough to upgrade kdelibs.
Moral of the story is, install kdelibs if you have no preference between
kdelibs3 and kdelibs4.
