shlib major change from 3.0.3 to 3.0.4

I am packaging guile 3 in pkgsrc-wip.  (It's not promoted to pkgsrc
proper because I am still having some issues.)

Doing the update from 3.0.3 to 3.0.4 I found this change in install
files:


-guile/3.0/lib/libguile-3.0.so.3.0.0-gdb.scm
+guile/3.0/lib/libguile-3.0.so.1.2.0-gdb.scm


and that strikes me as likely a bug.  Are others seeing this?  Is it
supposed to be 3.1.0 or 3.0.1, to reflect a micro change?  Having the
major version go backwards is baffling to me.

More to the point, you will have seen guile-3.0.2's libguile-3.0.so.1
move to guile-3.0.3's libguile-3.0.so.3 and then move back to
guile-3.0.4's libguile-3.0.so.1 

guile-3.0.3 was released with an accidental SO version bump: micro
versions of guile are supposed to retain and not break ABI/SO-version
compatibility.  guile-3.0.4 was released shortly thereafter correcting
the problem.  It looks as if you were unfortunate enough to have
installed guile during the hiatus period.

The best thing is to install guile-3.0.4 and recompile anything which
links to libguile-3.0.so.
