[Solved] Missing libfuse3.so.3 after update fuse3 3.17.1-1

After a general upgrade of all my package I noticed an issue while using fuse, I was missing libfuse3.so.3 after the update of fuse3 to version 3.17.1-1

I had to recreate manually:

sudo ln -s libfuse3.so.3.17.1 libfuse3.so.3

what were you doing that was producing an error and what was the exact error that you got?

It's not missing, it shouldn't be there. The current lib is libfuse3.so.4, the soname changes because the libraries are not compatible. NEVER make symlinks between incompatible libraries!

yeah that's why I was asking what they were doing and the exact error cause Fuse shouldn't be looking for so.3 anymore, so not sure what they were doing that fuse was looking for that.

Its due to dwarfs "A fast high compression read-only file system" that cannot mount its file system anymore.

thanks for the pointer, indeed it's due to a partial update, the package aur/dwarfs was kept back to a previous version due to a bug in the compilation I haven't taken care.

thanks for the time and sorry for the misleading bug report.
