Thanks for this example, I'll investigate that specific usecase.

I don't think there is anything wrong with having rpath to a private directory (/usr/lib64/samba) -- that's exactly what rpath is for, so that the app could find its private libraries that we don't want the whole world to have access to. What we should avoid is rpath to standard libdir, which is /usr/lib or /usr/lib64.

(Sorry if this has already been discussed, I'm a bit behind on email.)
