I find that being a bit more explicit when specifying the files ina
package is a great way to catch so bumps.

In your case, you could do the following:

  diff --git a/protobuf.spec b/protobuf.spec
  index 46ae034..8903fd2 100644
  --- a/protobuf.spec
  +++ b/protobuf.spec
  @@ -275,7 +275,7 @@
   %files compiler
   %defattr(-, root, root, -)
   %{_bindir}/protoc
  -%{_libdir}/libprotoc.so.*
  +%{_libdir}/libprotoc.so.8*
   %doc COPYING.txt README.txt
   
   %files devel

If the .so gets bumped again, the build will fail, which will allow you
to be much more proactive in dealing with dependency breaks.

Hope that helps.
