But ntfs-3g_2014.2.15AR.2 is buggy. Upgrading to ntfs-3g_2014.2.15AR.3
is recommended.

This means testdisk was compiled for using ntfs-3g_2014.2.15AR.2. If you compiled it yourself, just recompile after installing ntfs-3g_2014.2.15AR.3 (including its associated devel package). Otherwise you can just symlink libntfs-3g852 to libntfs-3g853. Usually they are in /lib64 or /usr/lib64, with a so suffix. This would be something like :
sudo ln -s libntfs-3.so.853 /lib64/libntfs-3.so.852
