1/ the [[ =~ ]] operator only treats the RHS as a regular expression if it isn't quoted. So we need to remove the quotes. 2/ The libdmraid-event-* library is not a shared library in the regular sense. i.e. programs are not linked against it and so do not have the library version number encoded in them. Rather, this is a shared-object that is explicitly loaded by dmeventd on request from dmraid. dmraid asks for "libdmraid-event-ism.so", so that is the only name that the shared object should be stored under. Providing a name with a trailing version number just makes it look like something that it is not.
