That sounds reasonable, but also like there *can not be* a way to obtain that hash at runtime. And therefore, no way to discover the true package name.

I can think of a hacky way: make sure the symbol table is still present in the executable and that you can find said executable, z-encode the part of the package+version you know and a symbol you know, and look for symbols that start with one and end with the other; the hash will be in between. -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
