Currently the > blkid version number is shared with e2fsprogs version number. It seems we can ignore this problem for now. I can release libblkid 2.15 (=util-linux-ng version) and keep the same SONAME as you have in e2fsprogs -- it means soname "libblkid.so.1". It seems people prefer the same version for library as well as for whole package. Karel -- Karel Zak
