I noticed that there's a SONAME bump in libinn from .so.8 to .so.9,
which is an ABI break and makes it necessary to rebuild all packages
depending on libinn. In Fedora case, the only consumer is newsx, so it's
not too bad. Still, I wasn't expecting an ABI break in a point release.
Please avoid those in the future when doing micro version increments
like this one (2.7.0 to 2.7.1) and do mention them in the release notes.

Sorry for not reporting this earlier, but I started working on a new
Fedora package only today.

Regards,
Dominik
