+Subject: app: Don't second-guess the dependency system
+
+Removing this check makes the treatment of LittleCMS consistent with
+all the other dependencies checked in the same file, which only check
+that the runtime version is at least the required version.
+
+As long as we were compiled against LittleCMS >= 2.8, and are now
+running against a version that has at least the same symbols, it doesn't
+necessarily matter whether the version we are running against is the
+same one we were compiled against.
+
+Distributions like Debian and Ubuntu track the versions in which
+individual symbols were introduced, which allows runtime dependencies
+to be weakened when no newer symbols are actually used; this is
+practically necessary when working with very large numbers of packages,
+to avoid a new version of a dependency library unnecessarily blocking
+upgrade of dependent packages. However, this doesn't work if dependent
+packages add their own checks that bypass this mechanism.
