This is mentioned on the search page. put each of the actual numbered
versions in.


for example, exact match on libidn.so.11.5.2 pulls up nothing.


Hmm.... perhaps this feature is broken though :-( nothing is showing up
now on any of the revs.

WAIT!  everything seems to actually be looking for the simpler,
libidn.so.11

so you should be able to dump the older revs i think.

This is not surprising, since presumably, the newest lib, has an SONAME of
libidn.so.11 also

hurray for competant developers for once!
