If applications suddenly fail to start we know there is a packaging bug. Ideally ldconfig wouldn't touch packaged libraries at all and just update ld.so.cache. Adding -X only to packages that need it won't help much though. I didn't realize that to avoid the unexpected symlink modifications all packages would have to use -X because in a transaction all %post scripts are executed before old files are removed. -- Miroslav Lichvar -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
