Description
Attempted to load class "GenericLinkProvider" from namespace "Fig\Link". Did you forget a "use" statement for "Symfony\Component\WebLink\GenericLinkProvider"

How to reproduce
create new project symfony/skeleton
composer req encore
activate preload

webpack_encore:
    preload: true

in config/package/webpack_encore.yaml

composer req web-link as requested by the bundle

Possible Solution
change namespace from Fig\Link to Symfony\Component\WebLink in Symfony\WebpackEncoreBundle\EventListener\PreLoadAssetsEventListener

It seems like the preload feature is relying on symfony/web-link to install fig/link-utils (so this bundle is using the FIG package as a transient dependency), but since the WebLink component no longer relies on this package as of 4.4, this check is no longer good enough to protect against turning on an optional feature without all dependencies.

Same problem here, using Symfony 4.4. Installing composer require fig/link-util solves it, but shouldn't be required.

@mbabker Small typo: package is called fig/link-util, without trailing s.

Fixed in v1.7.2. Thanks for the clear report!
