FMT update broke howdy libraries

[Jinra]

Ever since the fmt package updated to version 12, howdy no longer works because it cannot import the cv2 module which looks for version 11 library files

I've searched for similar issues already, and my issue has not been reported yet.

Linux distribution (if applicable): CachyOS 6.17.1

Howdy version (sudo howdy version): 3.0.0 BETA

It seems to be an issue with python-opencv. The same error occures when starting python REPL and importing cv2.
Temporary workaround: Download old version of libfmt and extract .so.11* files to /usr/lib

cd /tmp
wget https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/f/fmt/fmt-11.2.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
tar -xf fmt-11.2.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst 
sudo cp usr/lib/libfmt.so.11* /usr/lib/
rm -r /tmp/usr

Thanks, that worked! Feel silly for not thinking of that. I tried symlinking it to v12's lib file, but that didn't work

Opencv now works with libfmt v12 since the latest updates. No need for the workaround anymore! :)
