Details

Description:

Currently the `electron` package symlinks from `/usr/bin/electron` to `/usr/bin/electron$major` (where `$major` is the major version) but not from `/usr/lib/electron` to `/usr/lib/electron$major`, so packages that expect to use files from `/usr/lib/electron$major` (to provide compatibility with `electron$major-bin` AUR packages) like the `version` file cannot find there.
So I'm asking to provide the symlink if it's possible.

Additional info:

* package version(s): electron 18.2.3

Steps to reproduce:

Build a package that obtains version info from `/usr/lib/electron$major/version`.
