Thanks, this worked a treat.

The .so symlink points to a fully qualified library, e.g.
-rwxr-xr-x 1 gthomas gthomas 1383729 Jul 24 06:35 libamanda-3.3.3.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 gthomas gthomas      18 Jul 24 06:35 libamanda.so -> libamanda-3.3.3.so

The problem seems to be that this is the unqualified .so name and not a
version qualified name like 'libamanda.so.3'.  The package isn't building
the version qualified names, just the fully unqualified one.
