Description:
After updating to libjpeg 8-1 from the [testing] repo, the enlightenment (e17) window manager and entrance are unable to startup.

Problem occurs because Enlightenment cannot find the necessary libjpeg.so.7 in /usr/lib as it has been replaced by libjpeg.so.8. Possible (read: unconfirmed) workaround is to link libjpeg.so.8 to libjpeg.so.7.

Additional info:
libjpeg version 8-1
e-svn 44948-1

Steps to reproduce:

1. Update libjpeg to 8-1
2. Install e-svn, or entrance, and try to start either. It will fail, and whine about being unable to load the libjpeg.so.7 library.
This task depends upon

As a [testing] user, you should know the subscribing to arch-dev-public is mandatory and you should take particular notice of messages with subject lines starting with "WARNING".

BTW, your workaround will most likely lead to breakage. The proper fix is to rebuild the package (which is an on-going process).
