you are focusing only on .so which is different but this schema will work only if the package is split in lib, -dev, whatever as now, the headers will conflict since it have the same name on the same location.
Not true. When a new version is installed, the headers are replaced, and the symlink from 'libfoo.so' is modified to the new version.
pacman doesn't deal in symlinks in this manner. I think your understanding of WHAT a package is is a little off.
So *who* creates the symlink from libfoo.so -> libfoo.so.1.2.3 ? It's either pacman or ldconfig called by pacman. Unless you believe in little gremlins doing it while you sleep. Ciao, -- FA O tu, che porte, correndo si ? E guerra e morte !
