Describe the bug (mandatory)

I packaged pymupdf for openSUSE. It compiled very well. But some other packages that optionally require PyMuPDF crashed when PyMuPDF was installed as dependency. Lector (a ebook reader) gives this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/lector", line 11, in <module>
    load_entry_point('lector==0.5.1', 'gui_scripts', 'lector')()

    from . import _fitz
ImportError: /usr/lib64/python3.7/site-packages/fitz/_fitz.cpython-37m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so: undefined symbol: fz_identity

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install openSUSE Tumbleweed.
2. Install lector and python3-PyMuPDF packages.
3. Run lector in terminal.

If you install it via pip ( sudo pip install pymupdf ), it works fine. So this isn't an upstream issue.

The *.so file is compiled without any errors. So there might be a linking issue. I have talked with upstream developer but no conclusion. https://github.com/pymupdf/PyMuPDF/issues/355

Hope experienced python package maintainers can help me out. Thanks!
