As of commit f320e27e9 the name has changed to libginac.so.
Not exactly, run objdump -p libginac.so | grep SONAME
So, what do you mean with libginac0? Where does this 0 come from?!?
I guess it comes from the SONAME, and a naming convention for shared library packages. Typically such packages are called after the library SONAME. Thus, a package containing libginac.so.0 is called libginac0.
More importantly, why does lexicographic ordering matter?!?
Because humans and (package management) software expect SONAMEs (and version numbers) to be increasing. Best regards, Alexei
