Very specific hacks like this feel bad. Perhaps we should try to open
libvips.so.42first, then fall back tolibvips.soif that fails?Off-topic, but do you know why termux doesn't include API numbers in library names? I'm curious.
Uh oh!

I think it's a good idea to check if .42 exists first before the other one. However, I'm not sure how to write it without breaking the code.
To be honest, in this commit, I just added conditions that worked for me to make this package function properly. It's a dependency of a package I use, and it was only failing to validate these conditions in Termux. It hasn't caused me any issues since.
Termux always updates libraries to the latest compatible version. I haven't seen any ways to downgrade a package. I guess that's the reason why it omits version numbers in its files.

It looks like Termux needs to compile libvips with the
TERMUX_MESON_ENABLE_SOVERSION=1env set.See for example:
