I'm guessing that the differences between 4.10 and 4.11 should not be
significant enough to cause breakage. Typically, a symlink is all that
is required (ln -s libXpm.so.4.10 libXpm.so.4).  However, if you compile
the program against a newer version, it's likely to break with older
versions.  I'm not sure why you didn't have the symlink, and the libXpm
in potato is 4.11. 

Looks like another user posted a solution to your Bash problem.
