I've found out that this only occurs on my system because I've got
/usr/lib
/lib
listed in /etc/ld.so.conf.
As the default order seems to be /lib:/usr/lib, it isn't as serious as
I thought it was.
However, I still don't think that ldconfig should create symlinks to
symlinks. It certainly didn't do that in woody.
Thanks,
