To install the latest Tumbleweed update, I had to uninstall elinks, because of
conflicts that were encountered. When trying to reinstall it after the upgrade,
zypper produces the error:

Problem: nothing provides perl(:MODULE_COMPAT_5.24.0) needed by
elinks-0.11.996-2.3.x86_64

If I choose to break elinks and install it anyway, it fails to start with the
following error:

elinks: error while loading shared libraries: libperl.so: cannot open shared
object file: No such file or directory

and ldd /usr/bin/elinks | grep "not found" prints:

    libperl.so => not found

Sure enough, there is no libperl.so in /usr/lib64.

For vim, which also uses libperl, ldd prints:

    libperl.so =>
/usr/lib/perl5/5.24.1/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/CORE/libperl.so
(0x00007f83edc88000)

This suggests that the problem may be as simple as rebuilding elinks, so that
it uses the updated libperl.so.
