What do you mean? We have Libidn 1.33 as CSWlibidn11 and Libidn2 0.10 as CSWlibidn2-0.
Please note that Libidn and Libidn2 are completely different libraries, I didn’t get this
either and asked Simon Josefsson and this is what he replied to me :-)

And that is also the reason why we have CSWlibidn-dev and CSWlibidn2-dev.
