debian软件包依赖关系，如何为不同版本的ubuntu设置它？

Question

My problem is our debian package require some other libs, but these libs on different version of ubuntu are named differently.

for example,

libgnutls26 --- this can be found on ubuntu12.04, but not on ubuntu14.04 (probably libgnutls28 is used instead) . (please notice that it is only an example)

Is there a way that I can include it, then the correct version on both 12.04 and 14.04 version of ubuntu can be found?

Thanks, LJ

Same question here!

The best work-around I have found is setting the dependency to the dev version ( libgnutls-dev in your case). The development package depends on the compiled package and installs the proper version automatically. Sloppy but it works.
