The new xz-5.0.0-3 with a new xz-compat-libs subpackage containing
liblzma.so.0* libraries is just built. This should solve the chicken
and egg problem with rpm and elfutils as the old library will still be
available in the repository.

The liblzma.so.0 is built from the old xz 4.999.9beta so it should
serve to apps requiring old compression settings well.

Thanks for patience,
Jindrich
