gnome-desktop3 was updated a week ago to 3.27.90, which bumped ABI from

was even noticed by the maintainer, because once again:

%{_libdir}/lib*.so.*

I have rebuilt my affected package.

The wildcard in the files list is particularly dangerous because GNOME packages are updated by a script; humans only look when there are build failures. And unlike most other GNOME libraries, gnome-desktop does not pretend to have a stable API.

I've junt changed it to:

%{_libdir}/libgnome-desktop-3.so.17*

Belatedly, I realize that will break if the soname is ever bumped to 170. What is considered the best practice for this?
