binutils-2.17.50.0.18-1 breaks libbfd

One of my apps gives this error after updating today :
/usr/share/oolite.app/oolite: error while loading shared libraries: libbfd-2.17.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

As it worked fine yesterday, i checked and found libbfd is in /usr/lib and belongs to binutils, and this was updated today to binutils-2.17.50.0.18-1 .

In the previous 2.17 versions of binutils it installed libbfd-2.17.so , now it installs libbfd-2.17.50.0.18.so .

Creating a symlink for libbfd-2.17.s0 works as a temporary solution
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  oolite is not in the repositories, it's a bug in your oolite application: applications should not link dynamic to libbfd.so, they should link static as the lib is no way ABI stable.
