I noticed this by compiling the package myself... When I sent this mail, the web page was not updated and I saw an old list of files that did not contain the .so file. I should have tried it first rather than relying on a presumably delayed response on the web site. Sorry for the false alarm.
The update of the file list in the web interface might be delayed compared to the update of the package data itself. Dan, what can we do here? Should a version mismatch between $repo.db and $repo.files cause archweb to discard the file list, stating that "There is currently no file list available for this package", or should archweb print a warning "This is a file list from an older version of this package and might differ from the current package". Is anything like this already done in archweb? Should it? Right now, the delay between updating the package info and the file list can be (in the worst case) little over 24 hours. Given that our packages update and change frequently, I think we should avoid confusion like in Auguste's case.

ATM the file lists are created twice a day (how do you compute > 24h?) But yes, maybe the web interface should show if there is no recent file list available. But if that is not super easy to implement it wont worth it as I am rethinking the file list creation anyway. (but cannot really tell when) -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
