yes, /usr/lib/lib{menu,form}.so.5 is there, but /usr/lib/lib{menu,form}.so.6
is also there. Why did it pick up .so.5 over .so.6 ?

Before doing so, I'd like to know why it didn't pick the up to date library.
There may be other similar cases, and rebuilding the whole set of packages
takes weeks (I started a build from scratch 8 days ago because of X11 issues,
and it's only at
[4882/12012] Starting build of  p5-IO-Handle-Util-0.01nb2
)
