Proprietary software that's linked against a specific backend usually |
| 29 |
links to libcurl-gnutls.so.4 or whatever specifically as that's what |
| 30 |
Debian provides. If it points to just libcurl.so.4 but only works |
| 31 |
against a specific backend then we could use chrpath to change it to |
| 32 |
the specific name. |
