[artix-general] librewolf requiring rebuild given libvpx upgrade

[Javier]

Xul depends on libvpx.so.8:

> % ldd /usr/lib/librewolf/libxul.so
> ...
>         libvpx.so.8 => /usr/lib/libvpx.so.8 (0x00007fa291400000)
> ...

However libvpx upgrade bumps the library to "libvpx.so.9", and breaks librewolf.  My current work around was to revert the following packages:

> % pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/libvpx-1.13.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst /var/cache/pacman/pkg/rav1e-0.6.6-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst /var/cache/pacman/pkg/libavif-1.0.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ffmpeg4.4-4.4.4-3.1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ffmpeg-2\:6.1.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst /var/cache/pacman/pkg/thunderbird-115.6.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

And then prevent the following ones from upgrading, until librewolf gets rebuilt:

> % 'grep' '^IgnorePkg' /etc/pacman.conf
> IgnorePkg   = libvpx rav1e

This leads to:

I'm not sure if other packages broke with such revert, because the libvpx upgrade came with several other upgrades related to media:

> Packages (20) ffmpeg-2:6.1.1-3  ffmpeg4.4-4.4.4-4  gst-libav-1.22.9-1  gst-plugin-gtk-1.22.9-1  gst-plugins-bad-1.22.9-1  gst-plugins-bad-libs-1.22.9-1
>               gst-plugins-base-1.22.9-1  gst-plugins-base-libs-1.22.9-1  gst-plugins-good-1.22.9-1  gst-plugins-ugly-1.22.9-1  gst-python-1.22.9-1  gstreamer-1.22.9-1
>               gstreamer-vaapi-1.22.9-1  libavif-1.0.3-2  libheif-1.17.6-3  libvpx-1.14.0-1  qt5-webengine-5.15.16-3  rav1e-0.7.1-1  suitesparse-7.6.0-1

But I didn't want to revert everything unnecessarily...

Bottom line, librewolf needs a rebuild, :)

Thanks a lot !
