If the soname is set to libtorrent.so.10, it means applications will
start to look for a file called "/usr/lib/libtorrent.so.10". That will
probably be a symlink in your case to libtorrent-0.11.0, which looks
rather confusing to me.
In libtorrent9 you have a file called "/usr/lib/libtorrent.so.9". But
there doesn't seem to be a file named libtorrent-0.9.0.so or something,
so I'm a little confused what changed.
