The patched package I linked to in #163255 no longer fixes this issue for me. Plus, I got sick of having to uncheck liboil0.3 in the upgrade manager. So I've just now applied a filthy workaround: downgrade liboil to version 0.3.9-1.2, then copy the actual library /usr/lib/liboil-0.3.so.0.1.0 into /tmp, then upgrade back to 0.3.12-1, then overwrite /usr/lib/liboil-0.3.so.0.1.0 with the copy from /tmp.
Hopefully this will keep things working until a real upgrade comes down the pipe, and hopefully that upgrade will not be broken on pre-Altivec G3s.
