Hi,
As another data point, it appears as if the python-gdal package I have
installed is linked correctly against libgdal.so.38:
```
$ pacman -Ql python-gdal | grep '.so$' | cut -f2 -d " " | xargs ldd |
grep gdal
/usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/osgeo/_gdal.cpython-314-x86_64-linux-gnu.so:
libgdal.so.38 => /usr/lib/libgdal.so.38 (0x00007fab84200000)
/usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/osgeo/_gdal_array.cpython-314-x86_64-linux-gnu.so:
libgdal.so.38 => /usr/lib/libgdal.so.38 (0x00007efcd6000000)
/usr/lib/python3.14/site-packages/osgeo/_gdalconst.cpython-314-x86_64-linux-gnu.so:
libgdal.so.38 => /usr/lib/libgdal.so.38 (0x00007f3cf0200000)
libgdal.so.38 => /usr/lib/libgdal.so.38 (0x00007f0ed7c00000)
libgdal.so.38 => /usr/lib/libgdal.so.38 (0x00007fdfbf400000)
```
Not really too sure what to make of that, or if it's relevant.
