It only tries to work around it. Running There are two "problems" here though, getting his build working at all and tracking down the segfault. I don't mind agreeing that resolving it with the unowned link thing taken care of is "more correct". But so far you didn't get the guy over his actual problem in front of him. For sure in the long run fixing the segfault has more value, but let's not underestimate the value of a hack that lets you go on in the short term. > /sbin/ldconfig in %post and %postun is a MUST for packages which put > shared libraries into run-time linker's search path.

If libmylib.so is put into /usr/lib and does not As you see in my original answer I describe "It will make the symlinks according to the library soname". > contain a proper SONAME, ldconfig won't create any symlink like > libmylib.so.1. The result would be a poorly packaged rpm. Isn't a problem with the library if it doesn't describe itself through the soname properly... applying your holistic fixing logic one would go to the library to fix that... -Andy
