oooprelink just calls prelink and it gives you that warning -- for a
good reason...

I don't know when that data corruption happens but it apparently does...

Hmm... oooprelink does only run prelink, too, which does that.

Indeed, when running oooprelink and therfore prelink manually from console,
the question comes and I could answer Yes/No and continue.
Not when dpkg-reconfiguring or apt/dpkg. It "hangs" before the question
or doesn't display it. Answering "Yes" anyway doesn't have any effect
either....

Hmm. Really. Bug in prelink. Reassigning a clone to prelink.
