There is a new pull request by ahesford against master on the void-packages repository https://github.com/ahesford/void-packages protobuf https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/18691 protobuf: update to 3.11.2 This PR updates the protobuf package and subpackages to version 3.11.2. Google updates the major version of its shared libraries with every release, and this moves libproto*.so.18 to libproto*.so.22. Accordingly, this PR also: * Revbumps all packages dependent on these shlibs * Renames the libproto{c,buf,buf-lite}18 subpackages to drop the major version from the name * Adds "replaces" directives to these subpackages to record the name change. cc: @the-maldridge A patch file from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/18691.patch is attached
