Good to know. Thanks.

One worry was that if something updated
the old:

/usr/lib/libarchive.so -> libarchive.so.6

to:

/usr/lib/libarchive.so -> libarchive.so.7

(say because of the upgraded system) that the
libarchive.so.6 might not always be found
by older code:

Anything looking up just /usr/lib/libarchive.so
would see a link taking that context to
libarchive.so.7 despite an older libarchive.so.6
being available for older code.

>From what I've read if that happened in the
wrong context it could be a disaster.
