Weird.

Overall LGTM!  If you’re confident you can go ahead and push, no need to
wait until the update is outdated.  ;-)

What’s the RUNPATH on ethercat.so?

  readelf -a ethercat.so | grep RUNPATH

And where is libwireshark.so.12?

‘validate-runpath’ does interpret $ORIGIN, but maybe there’s a but
there.

Thanks,
