No, that was due to hardcoded /usr/sbin/ldconfig paths:
Oh, yes it is the same problem, but in reverse. Anyone who searches PATH will find /usr/sbin/ldconfig. glibc rpm installs /sbin/ldconfig.Anything that uses PATH to find ldconfig, and uses it in any way that gets sniffed out by find-requires, is going to cause a conflict with the next glibc update. The package will install fine, but everything will come crashing down, as soon as a mid-release glibc update shows up.
The only reason everything hasn't come apart, by now, is because everyone's been hardcoding /sbin/ldconfig in their %post-s and %postun-s.
