Description:
ASS subtitles aren't working as libass was recently updated to libass.so.5, and the binary XBMC is trying to load libass.so.4.

A straightforward recompile of the xbmc package fixes it.

Version:
xbmc 12.2-5

Log file snippet:
13:34:11 T:140434374366976 NOTICE: Opening Subtitle stream: 2 source: 256
13:34:11 T:140434374366976 ERROR: Unable to load libass.so.4, reason: libass.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
13:34:11 T:140434374366976 ERROR: CDVDSubtitlesLibass: Failed to load libass library

Steps to reproduce:
play something with ASS subtitles. They won't be formatted properly: XBMC drops back to showing them nonstyled, with random internal gubbins displayed as well.
This task depends upon

Note: this is for [xbmc] I would change the subject to contain that string, but I can't it seems....
