If in such moment you will rerun 'ldconfig' then all correct links
should be created.  Indeed, this is not precisely obvious.

Would I run this against the entire /usr/lib directory or just against the particular library where the problem was encountered?

locate '#prelink#' presently returns no transitional libraries. At the time the problem was encountered, there were about 5 returned libraries that returned results. Most of the returned outputs were sound related libraries which are not part of Fedora Core.


Having a systemwide warning where shutdown would not happen until the system was in sane state is still a desirable action. prelink and package updating interrupted on shutdown seem to be dangerous actions to interrupt whie they are in mid-stream condition. Ideally, they would exit cleanly and save data like in a hybernation state and pick up when the system beacme powered up again. I favor the complete action, then shut down while preventing additional programs from launching during the shutdown request. Laptops would probably benifit from the complete critical, then hybernate concept.

In the meantime, running top before shutting down the system is probably wise to ensure at least a critical application or daemon is not performing tasks at the time of shutdown.
