Details

Description:
Shared library change

Additional info:
Last libvpx update changed the name of the library file mpv is linked against.
After performing the update, mpv would not start, outputting:

> mpv
mpv: error while loading shared libraries: libvpx.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Ugly fix :
> sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libvpx.so.2.0.0 /usr/lib/libvpx.so.1

Proper would be to compile mpv against the new libvpx version.

Affected :
* mpv 0.8.3-1
* libvpx 1.4.0-2

Steps to reproduce:

Update libvpx to the latest version, try to run mpv.

Nope. mpv is not linked to libvpx at all. ldd is misleading because it's recursive. Most likely your system is not up to date or you have something from the AUR that mpv is linked to that is then linked to libvpx. If you don't know what it is, lddtree from pax-utils can help you find it.
