Fair enough. I was trying to think if there's a cleaner way of avoiding breakage. I found http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15982 which seems to provide some sanity. I was trying to think if there's anything, as a packager, that I could do to prevent or mitigate dll hell (.so hell? ) -- csgeek On Tue, Sep 28, 2010 at 10:46 AM, Florian Pritz <bluewind@server-speed.net> wrote:

Now, to be fair.. mplayer probably should have been linked against libx264.so rather then libx264.so.104 (-git package provides a libx264.so.105).
Normally that number only changes if the libraries aren't compatible anymore. That means mplayer might break completely or behave strange if you mess with that.
Linking to libx264.so would be the same as creating a symlink from 104 to 105 btw. -- Florian Pritz -- {flo,bluewind}@server-speed.net
