Error on import: Undefined symbol hs_compile_lit_multi

[RicoVZ]

Since today, after installing hyperscan 0.1.5 on Python 3.6.9 (Ubuntu 18.04), importing hyperscan results
in an ImportError.

My Hyperscan package versions are:

• libhyperscan-dev/now 5.1.0-1 amd64 [installed,local]
• libhyperscan5/now 5.1.0-1 amd64 [installed,local]

The error:

import hyperscan

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/tmp/test3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/hyperscan/__init__.py", line 5, in <module>
    from hyperscan._hyperscan import *
ImportError: /tmp/test3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/hyperscan/_hyperscan.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: hs_compile_lit_multi

Occurs with hyperscan-0.1.5-cp36-cp36m-manylinux2014_x86_64.whl.
I noticed that this file was updated recently (11-12-2020), so I thought that might be the cause.

Does not occur with hyperscan-0.1.5-cp36-cp36m-manylinux1_x86_64.whl

Also does not occur with hyperscan-0.1.5-cp38-cp38-manylinux2014_x86_64.whl on a machine with Python 3.8.5 (Ubuntu 20.04).

Do you know of any things that might cause this?

I was transitioning CI for this project from semaphore to GitHub Actions, and it looks like it uploaded some new wheels to the existing v0.1.5 release on PyPI when it shouldn't have. Should be fixed now, thanks for the heads up - v0.2.0 has also been released now, which will require Hyperscan 5.2.

created a related issue (#29) for statically linking the C extension; if you have any questions or concerns about moving to a statically linked library please let me know, otherwise I think that would make more sense for the majority of use cases and allow for easy upgrades without requiring a rebuild of Hyperscan.
