    Also I'd even prefer F33 getting the update a bit later:
    I assume F33 users are valuing stability over "latest versions and fixes"
    (otherwise they would have upgraded to F34 already). On the other hand the bug
    is probably not too bad (otherwise the bug would have been fixed earlier or
    users would have stopped using the package altogether).

    So as a F33 user I'd prefer only getting "rock solid" fixes over newer stuff
    which might introduce regressions.

    just a personal opinion though :-)

That isn't what happened in this case though. One of the libraries it depended on was updated, which changed the patch version in the soname (there used to be no soname versioning for that library until now, when they introduced the versioning system). The library loader inside KiCad was searching for the exact soname because of the way the loader works (load the library explicitly and then find the function pointers), but because the soname it was built with didn't exist anymore, it couldn't find it. This led to an error on launching one part of the program, making that part stop working when it was working before the library update. All that was needed to fix this was a rebuild of the package to pick up the new soname - no patches required.

Thanks, Ian.  With the help of yourself and others, we've gotten enough +karma that I have now been able to schedule both the f33 and f34 builds for stable.  I assume that the next time releng does a push those builds will become GA.

In the next upstream release, the mechanism will change, such that only the major soname number will have to match, and changing that is a much rarer occurrence.
