Don't symlink libraries....

Okay, it is the best to don't do this but i have a technical question about it in this case: What would be the best? 1. ln -s libjpeg.so  libjpeg.so.62 or 2. Stay with libjpeg 6b-6 and do "ln -s libjpeg.so libjpeg.so.7" Comment: I still use my own kde3 packages and i'm not sure that i will found patches for them in the near future (or perhaps never). See you, Attila

Get the old libjpeg package, extract it and copy the .so file to /usr/lib. Linking is a no-go.

Thanks very much, this is the best way and i saved the files from libjpeg 6b-6. See you, Attila

no, that might break a hundred of other packages you might have installed. The best way would be to wait for the mirror syncing or to rebuild emacs-cvs using abs.

First, i'm not waiting for emacs-cvs.-) My problem is that i don't know what will happens with my own kde3 packages if i will do this big upgrade. Therefore i'm looking for the best workaround. I don't understand what will be the problem if i make a package which include only libjpeg.so.62.0.0 plus his symlink libjpeg.so.62 and which i can install parallel to the new libjpeg package. For me non-profi this sounds good if i don't take the include files from the old package but i will be even thankfull if you tell me something about the possible problems what i have overseen. Second, waiting is not a problem because at the moment i have enough to do compiling my kde3 packages with the news gcc ... perhaps this is the reason why searching the web for patches is not my first option.-) See you, Attila
