New comment by ahesford on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/50607#issuecomment-2139831682 Comment: I assume the change was intentional, because our standard practice is to put all unversioned library symlinks in `-devel` subpackages. The fix is to install that subpackage whenever you need the unversioned link, which could be to satisfy precompiled binaries or to establish a proper development environment.
