Hi,
I received #370387 claiming that I should version my libgnutls-dev dep
because libgnutls11-dev provides libgnutls-dev and this can cause
multiple versions of libgnutls to be linked to a binary (e.g. the
version pulled by libsoup, and the version pulled by -lgnutls when the
binary is built).
I consider all of this is normal even if it indeed allows binaries to
end up linked with multiple versions of gnutls.
If we were to force all binaries to link to one and only one gnutls,
then we wouldn't allow two or three gnutls versions in the archive at
the same time.
Is this correct? Am I missing something?
Thanks for comments,
