(master) Cairo.libcairo pointing to?

[lobingera]

This came a little bit unexpected ...

seems to be working still (pkg test Cairo, using Cairo).

"Problem" known, and I think fixed in Pkg that will be in Julia v1.3. It works anyway in this case because libcairo-script-interpreter.so is linked against libcairo.so

"Problem known" - means issue?

[giordano]

The problem is that BinaryProvider is picking up the wrong library (that's an unfortunate effect of how library detection works now: it uses for the first whose name starts with libcairo and can be dlopened). In practice, this should be a non-issue because libcairo-script-interpreter.so is linked to libcairo.so.

Instead, with #293 I get the following:
