 > > I don't think it's very reasonable to request upstream to revert to
 using 5 as the minimum compatibility version, we'll rather have to absorb
 that on our side. Either in the post-destroot or else with a patch. It may
 be a few days before I'll get around to doing that so don't hesitate to
 beat me to it.

 software.

 There's nothing broken in their software in this aspect. They decided to
 change a versioning number from one that didn't make much sense to one
 that corresponds to the library major version. That's their right and yes,
 that breaks something on our end but not in a way that cannot be repaired
 by relinking.

 There are ports that claim they depend on libsnappy, like QtWebEngine but
 in practice that port apparently uses the copy it includes in its source
 tree.
