The actual problem seems to have been causing by a behavior of ldconfig that we almost never see because we tend to ship library packages with lib$SONAME.so.$SOVERSION symbolic links already in the package payload. See xrender 0.8.3-2, which is in queue/accepted as of this writing. So, let's see, I've been violated by ldconfig, libtool, and dpkg-divert all within the past 2 days. I feel like Tera Patrick. -- G.
