The current netpbm package is missing the symlink from libnetpbm.so.10.18 to libnetpbm.so.
This task depends upon

Other distributions don't have this symlink either and ldconfig picks it up without problems.
[root@lappie ~]# ldconfig -p | grep netpbm
libnetpbm.so.10 (libc6) => /usr/lib/libnetpbm.so.10

Unless it doesn't fix anything that's broken, I don't think a libnetpbm.so -> libnetpbm.so.10 symlink is required.

It's not a runtime problem, it's a compiling problem. Anything that depends on netpbm but doesn't require a specific version will look for libnetpbm.so. Happened to me yesterday.

As for other distros, most of the ones I've worked with have separate runtime and development packages. The development packages almost always install symlinks to <any_library>.so. And Debian unstable, at least, *does* have libnetpbm.so (it's in the libnetpbm10-dev package); Debian stable has the equivalent for netpbm9.

Upgraded to netpbm 10.26.3 and added symlink manually to PKGBUILD
