OK, I am about to say something very idiotic here, because I am not too
familiar with versioned symbols in libraries. Hence, please bear with
me...

Is it wrong (or too late) to change that symbol into
keyctl_move@KEYUTILS_1.10 ?
Would that bump the SONAME again and generate libkeyutils.so.1.10 ?

That's an interesting question, I have no idea about that...

Please let me know, as soon as you make up your mind.

I had to downgrade libkeyutils1 and pin it to version 1.6-6, in order
to getting an annoying daily alert (via local mail) from rkhunter.
I would love to see this issue solved soon.

Thanks for your time and understanding.
Bye!
