Obviously the real issue is when libfoo is libpng or openssl or whatever. |

It almost makes you wonder if the solution is to do a LOT more |

slotting. Maybe with the right automation slotting could be less |
| 9 |
painful to maintain. Of course, if you take that to the ultimate |
| 10 |
extreme you'd just have every package install each file with a hash in |
| 11 |
the filename and then have /usr/bin et all be a collection of |
| 12 |
symlinks. And before you know it you're running Plan9. :) |
