See #896019 and #948318 for examples. Somebody reported a similar problem about libcrypt.so.1, which moved from /lib/ (provided by libc) to /usr/lib/ (provided by libxcrypt). Since libcrypt.so.1 has been in /usr/lib/ for three months now without any other unexpected issues then I think that we can be very confident that there is no reason whatsoever to install anything outside of /usr anymore. -- ciao, Marco
