New comment by Chocimier on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/25190#issuecomment-700905147 Comment: Entry in shlibs states minimal version of package that provides solib fulfilling requirements of consumers of solib. Usually if solib version is same, there is no need to modify shlibs. Exceptions exists, one of them is when upstream didn't increased solib despite of being incompatble, other is when updated solib provides symbols that are consumed by other packages. If such exception is case here, you need to revbump consumers in this PR too, because building consumers is when information in shlib is actually used to set minimal required version of dependency in consumer package.
