These are most likely symlinks pointing to removed (obsolete) library
files. Try running ldconfig manually as root. If it still complains, check
that the symlinks are pointing to a file that doesn't exist and remove
them. They don't cause any harm if you leave them, but you can safely
remove them if you find them annoying.
