Yes, but this is the way shared library versioning works. When you build
something you link against e.g. /usr/lib/libarchive.so. The linker follows =
the
symlink to libarchive.so.6, and then the key point is that it stores
libarchive.so.6 as the dependency. So that binary will always use
libarchive.so.6. When you update and libarchive.so is now a symlink to
libarchive.so.7, and build some software, it follows the symlink and stores
libarchive.so.7 as the dependency.
