Also I'd even prefer F33 getting the update a bit later:
I assume F33 users are valuing stability over "latest versions and fixes"
(otherwise they would have upgraded to F34 already). On the other hand the
bug
is probably not too bad (otherwise the bug would have been fixed earlier
or
users would have stopped using the package altogether).
So as a F33 user I'd prefer only getting "rock solid" fixes over newer
stuff
which might introduce regressions.
just a personal opinion though :-)

That isn't what happened in this case though. One of the libraries it
depended on was updated, which changed the patch version in the soname
(there used to be no soname versioning for that library until now, when
they introduced the versioning system). The library loader inside KiCad was
searching for the exact soname because of the way the loader works (load
the library explicitly and then find the function pointers), but because
the soname it was built with didn't exist anymore, it couldn't find it.
This led to an error on launching one part of the program, making that part
stop working when it was working before the library update. All that was
needed to fix this was a rebuild of the package to pick up the new soname -
no patches required.
