Research direction
Start with libxapp/meson.build at lines 97–101 and compare the declared version and soversion with the package listing shown in the issue. Determine whether the project intends SONAME versioning to follow the project version or to maintain ABI version 1; done means the intended versioning behavior is documented and the Meson configuration reflects it.

Description
$ bsdtar -tvf xapp-2.0.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
[...]
lrwxrwxrwx 0 root root 0 Nov 26 15:48 usr/lib/libxapp.so -> libxapp.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 0 root root 0 Nov 26 15:48 usr/lib/libxapp.so.1 -> libxapp.so.2.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 0 root root 214712 Nov 26 15:48 usr/lib/libxapp.so.2.0.0
[...]
This occurs due to https://github.com/linuxmint/xapp/blob/dc2d288144870f89e2001cc9180655d03b11229e/libxapp/meson.build#L97-L101
version: '2.0.0'
soversion: '1'
What's the intention here? To use soname versioning tracking the project version? To manually maintain an ABI of "1"?
