 Are you sure that the API *and* ABI changed? To clarify the difference:
 API_DEPENDS means that the programming interface was changed and most
 packages are expected to use the new API. When it is only extended in a
 backward compatible way, it should be left as is.
 
 ABI_DEPENDS bumps should only occur when e.g. a shared library version
 changed and means that all depending packages need a bump as well.
 
 I don't remember either of that required.

 Patches should be generated e.g. with pkgtools/pkgdiff.
