Even if the packager really ran "which ldconfig" or similar, having forgotten that it's /sbin/ldconfig for years, the result on Fedora 17 would have been "/sbin/ldconfig". The following commit "Fix usrmove paths." (also see bug 829197) http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=samba.git;a=commitdiff;h=3638a0bfcbbf10e73017dd271e683cce7c13a202 assumed that lots of executables had moved from /bin and /sbin to /usr/bin and /usr/sbin, which is not true for glibc's ldconfig yet. > 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.

What you describe is a dependency issue, a weak/unsafe dependency, not a conflict. > 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. This is about Fedora 17, not Rawhide. Admittedly, # ll /usr/sbin/ldconfig -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 948296 May 11 05:28 /usr/sbin/ldconfig can be misleading, but that is due to the /sbin -> usr/sbin symlink, not $PATH. -- Fedora release 17 (Beefy Miracle) - Linux 3.4.3-1.fc17.x86_64 loadavg: 0.39 0.66 0.71 -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
