Details

Description:
Some applications (notable blobsaver and other apps that may use the JNI or manually call dlopen) attempt to manually open /usr/lib/libimobiledevice.so. In the libimobiledevice package, however, there is only a symlink up to libimobiledevice-1.0.so. There should be a symlink named libimobiledevice.so that points to libimobiledevice-1.0.so, so programs can directly open it.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:

dlopen("/usr/lib/libimobiledevice.so") will fail.
This task depends upon

Upstream renamed libimobiledevice to libimobiledevice-1.0 with a purpose, it's documented as breaking change. Applications should be updated to support the new soname.
I don't know if ABI has been broken in 1.3.x, but if it is, it will cause unresolved symbols or crashes when applications start loading a symlinked library and expect 1.2.x ABI.

@sunflsks you could test if blobsaver is compatible with libimobiledevice-1.0 see attached PKGBUILD and ask the project to update to it.

Sorry, I didn't see the part about the ABI change. This new package seems to work with libimobiledevice-1.0, I'll ask upstream to update it.
