There are an issue with code building which use libe57format/2.2.0 static library on Windows machine. We have downloaded in month ago and the problem did not appear on last Friday 21.10.2022 we have observed that there is a problem with linkage with libe57format lib. Xercesc package has not changed.

Yes, it's an consequence of #13502 (comment), fixed by #13616, but libe57format binaries should be generated again since they were linked to the shared flavor of xerces-c.
Indeed, #13501 has been merged between #13502 & #13616.

/cc @jgsogo @danimtb @uilianries if you can trigger a rebuild of libe57format packages

(side note: so here it's really a consequence of a bug where xerces-c:shared=False was lying when last packages of libde57format were built, but it's also a reminder that this kind of bug can also occur when folks build from source against a shared lib then change transitive shared option without forcing a rebuild, since shared option of dependencies don't contribute to package id, see #8987, hope it will be fixed in conan v2)

[uilianries]

@SpaceIm please, read #13461

if you can trigger a rebuild of libe57format packages

Done, libe57format/2.2.0@ has been re-triggered.

Thank You for picking up the issue. I guess conan center have some cache or re-triggered binaries haven't been updated/uploaded yet (I have still the same issue)

Everything works fine. Thank You!
