--- Comment #1 from Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer at who-t.net> ---
weird. that symlink isn't something controlled by us, it's created by autotools
and I'm not even sure there's an option to remove it. either way, the symlink
itself should only be used during compilation, the bits dependent on libinput
should depend directly on the .so.A.B.C file, not the symlink.

you'll find that the .so is probably provided by the libinput-devel package.
The only thing I can imagine is that if you install two independent libinput
versions one from source, the other one from the package, the .so file of the
system package was removed (??) and now your compositor or X relies on the
removed .so file. Why that would affect shutdown I honestly don't know.

i recommend install the system's libinput and libinput-devel package, look at
the files in the tree, then make install and compare what changed. That could
provide a hint of what's going wrong.
