Description:

The Upgrade from libvpx 1.12.0-2 to 1.13.0-1 replaces libvpx.so.7 with
libvpx.so.8 but many dependent packages are not yet rebuild to link
against the new version of then library and therefor break.

I noticed this trying to start the chromium browser which depends on
ffmpeg, which in turn depends on libvpx.

Additional info:
* package version(s):
libvpx 1.13.0-1
chromium 110.0.5481.177-1
ffmpeg-obs 5.1.2-2
mplayer 38407-1
[probably many more]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Upgrade libvpx to 1.13.0-1

2. Try to run any of the applications still linked against
libvpx.so.7:

% mplayer
mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libvpx.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
% ffmpeg
ffmpeg: error while loading shared libraries: libvpx.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
% chromium
/usr/lib/chromium/chromium: error while loading shared libraries: libvpx.so.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
