RPM has been able to handle symlinks for a long time:
$ rpm -ql kdelibs | grep libkunittest.so.4.13.3
/usr/lib64/libkunittest.so.4.13.3
$ rpm -qf /lib64/libkunittest.so.4.13.3
kdelibs-4.13.3-1.fc20.x86_64
I presume that yum is querying RPM for information about installed
packages, causing the installed version of glibc to "automagically"
provide /usr/sbin/ldconfig. Let's test:
# ln -s /usr/sbin /foo
# rpm -qf /foo/ldconfig
glibc-2.17-55.el7_0.1.x86_64
# yum provides /foo/ldconfig
...
glibc-2.17-55.el7_0.1.x86_64 : The GNU libc libraries
Repo : @updates
Matched from:
Filename : /foo/ldconfig
So yum has (and uses) more information about installed packages.
