If you're talking about ELF for desktop Linux, they for the most part don't contain file paths, and may specify the version but usually just have the major version (to allow for security updates). You can use ldd to read the list of deps and also do a dry run of fulfilling them from the search path, for example:

  $> ldd $(command -v ls)
    linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffd5b3a0000)
    libcap.so.2 => /usr/lib/libcap.so.2 (0x00007f6bd398c000)
    libc.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f6bd3780000)
    /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 => /usr/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f6bd39e5000)

Libraries can cause bugs even if they have the same exact version as it may be compiled in a way that is not expected by the program. Ideally the list of libraries should be some form of a hash of the library to ensure it is loading exactly what it expects.
