This and other libx264 errors are related to the rebuild that
currently takes place. It will be fixed in a few days, when all
packages have been rebuilt and the mirrors are all up to date. Because
we now follow the new openSUSE shared library naming convention, the
next rebuild will not cause that sort of problems since it will be
possible to install the old and the new libx264 package at the same
time.

Compared to the huge amount of packages that are not many. Packman
lives from the user feedback. We all build packages in our very rare
spare time, and we cannot do all tests ourselves.

Same for you!
