10 The point is that apps are linked against libcrypt.so.0.9.6 for instance. So
11 when you replace it with *.so.0.9.7, the linker cannot find 0.9.6 version.
12 Dynamic linking makes it unnecessary for you to recompile everything after
13 upgrading from 0.9.7 to 0.9.7d, because even though the file version changes,
14 it's name (or at least a name of symbolic link and binary interface) doesn't
15 change and the linker can find it, load it and app can use it.
