links to
<filename class='libraryfile'>libfoo.so.3</filename> in turn), the
package may malfunction because the different names of the shared
library provide incompatible functions with same symbol names. This
can be caused by recompiling some (but not all) packages linked to the
old shared library name after the package providing the shared library
is upgraded. To avoid the issue, it's recommended to recompile every
package linked to a shared library of which the name has been changed
during an upgrade as soon as possible, in their dependency order.
