} Aha. Is it because it's liblzf.1.0 now and you forgot to mark 0.0 as
} obsolete or however it's done?

     It is.  The "however it's done" is to remove the old major
versions from the set lists, which means you'll need to clean out
DESTDIR.  It is done this way, because marking them as obsolete would
cause them to be removed by postinstall when somebody upgrades their
system.  This would be bad because it would cause apps linked against
the previous major version to stop working.  This is the way it has
been for a very long time for ALL shared libraries.  In other words,
this is normal.  It should be noted in UPDATING, but that doesn't
change how you need to handle it.
