Details

Description:
When installing podofo, the following symlinks are missing:
/usr/lib/libpodofo.so.0 -> /usr/lib/libpodofo.so.0.9.x
/usr/lib/libpodofo.so.0.9 -> /usr/lib/libpodofo.so.0.9.x

Only the library file and an unspecific symlink are available:
/usr/lib/libpodofo.so -> /usr/lib/libpodofo.so.0.9.x
/usr/lib/libpodofo.so.0.9.x

Thus, when scribus is being built, it links itself to libpodofo.so.0.9.x. When the revision changed, scribus (scribus-svn in this case) was then broken and needed to be rebuilt. However, a revision change shouldn't need a full rebuild, as it is most of the time for minor increments.

Additional info:
tested with 0.9.4 (when upgrading from 0.9.3 to 0.9.4)


Steps to reproduce:
Install podofo 0.9.3
Install scribus-svn
Update podofo to latest version (0.9.4)

Scribus will be unable to start, looking for libpodofo.so.0.9.3 instead of libpodofo.so.0 or libpodofo.so.0.9 and needing to be rebuilt.

From CMakeLists.txt:

SET(PODOFO_SOVERSION "${PODOFO_VERSION_MAJOR}.${PODOFO_VERSION_MINOR}.${PODOFO_VERSION_PATCH}") <----------
SET(PODOFO_LIBVERSION "${PODOFO_SOVERSION}")

So this is intended by upstream, complain to them.
