Interesting word for weird ;-)

I guess it must be doing some kind of dynamic loading stuff? OTOH, it
seems to be just linked as a plain shared lib:

Yes... at least evolution, but that's the only thing I have, which
depends on it.

Maybe we should increase the severity, so that people will see it at
least via apt-listbugs?


Thanks :-)
