New issue by aritra1911 on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/44335

Description:
### Is this a new report?

Yes

### System Info

Void 6.1.31_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate rrrmFFFF

### Package(s) Affected

wps-office-11.1.0.10920_2

### Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?

No

### Expected behaviour

```
   SONAME: libtiff.so.6 <-> tiff-4.5.0_1
```

libtiff.so.6 is shipped with tiff-4.5.0_1 which should be the one that gets pickup up instead of libtiff.so.5

### Actual behaviour

```
   SONAME: libtiff.so.5 <-> UNKNOWN PKG PLEASE FIX!
```

libtiff.so.5 is pickup up instead which doesn't even exist.

### Steps to reproduce

```sh
$ git checkout b6333d75da
$ ./xbps-src pkg wps-office
```

Comment:
> `$ git checkout b6333d75da`

this is why. you're checking out a commit made prior to when tiff was updated to 4.5.0 (when `libtiff.so.5` became `libtiff.so.6`)

I believe https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/commit/b6333d75da484ac64ea84f0c47af6ca54dbfde98 was committed 9 hours ago.

Comment:
because that package does not compile wps office itself (it downloads binaries), we can't do anything about it linking to the old libtiff version

Maybe someone needs to update it to the latest version which is 11.1.0.11698.

maybe a controversial opinion, but I think we shouldn't have packages like this in void-packages at all, we have to rely on them not linking stuff we are moving forward which doesn't always happen. Then this package also doesn't seem well maintained - last void-packages update was in February 2022 and it is packaged as a flatpak on flathub which is much better suited for dealing with ugly proprietary stuff that requires specific versions of libraries than us.

Hm, we can provide a libtiff5 package for this, no?

Have same error. If change in file shlibs

`libtiff.so.6 tiff-4.5.0_1` to `libtiff.so.**5** tiff-4.5.0_1`

Another error

```
=> ERROR: wps-office-11.1.0.10920_2: /usr/lib64 must not exist.
=> ERROR: wps-office-11.1.0.10920_2: cannot continue with installation!
```

Anyone knows how to fix this?

You can not just change shlibs, that won't make it magically work. To fix your issue, I would try `./xbps-src zap` and `./xbps-src binary-bootstrap` again.

Unfortunately, this change nothing.  Same error.
