Add libmediainfo.so to library_paths for Linux (actually Termux)

[wdscxsj]

The libmediainfo package of Termux uses libmediainfo.so rather than libmediainfo.so.0.

Thanks, I'll fix the CI and I'll look into this. Any idea why Termux does this whereas other distributions ? On Gentoo and Arch Linux, it looks like this:

libmediainfo.so:       symbolic link to libmediainfo.so.0.0.0
libmediainfo.so.0:     symbolic link to libmediainfo.so.0.0.0
libmediainfo.so.0.0.0: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=60a5cbbc464287dbefc9482f3a9f4c60a8a4d64f, stripped

Thanks for the help! Actually I'm not sure, but perhaps to save a tiny bit of space? On my phone, locate libmediainfo shows this:

/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/libmediainfo.so
/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libmediainfo.pc
/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/share/doc/libmediainfo

I think I found the QA issue: can you please cherry-pick d02fb74 and push again?

I add an explicit type annotation to library_paths so that it won't be deduced to be Tuple[str]. mypy has really sharp eyes. 😄

Hello @valpogus, I see you've committed to https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/commits/master/packages/libmediainfo/build.sh quite a bit. Could you please tell me why there is no libmediainfo.so.0 file on Termux? Is that some kind of optimization? I'd first want to make sure that this is not a bug in Termux before adding the path to pymediainfo.

Oh yeah indeed. It took me a while to understand what was happening so I added a long comment in 2a4650e. I will push it as soon as I check that the CI works with it.

Actually, I don't know :). When I first created the mediainfo packages, I also created the soversion-suffixed symlinks mirroring the official DEB packages to be compatible with pymediainfo (see termux/termux-packages#4642). The soversion-suffixed symlinks were later removed on commit termux/termux-packages@bc1264e. Maybe the commiter @xtkoba can provide a reason why. Otherwise, https://gitter.im/termux/dev might be a good place to ask. I am far from an expert on these matters.

@valpogus would you consider adding the .so.0 file? Or could @xtkoba comment on this?
