I am working on fixing update-alternatives mechanism for BLAS and LAPACK libraries. Libraries must be moved from %_libdir to %_libdir/blas and %_libdir/lapack to avoid conflict with ldconfig. %_libdir will contain only symlinks libblas.so.3 and liblapack.so.3, created by update-alternatives. [1] But main problem is migration between configurations. As I understand rpm use this sequence: 1. %pre (new version) 2. installing files 3. %post (new version) 4. %preun (old version) 5. delete difference in files 6. %postun (old version) Looks like step 5 deletes not only %_libdir/libblas.so.3.*, but %_libdir/libblas.so.3 too despite it is listed in new package.

%ghost %{_libdir}/libblas.so.3

Are there any ways to fix it? Without ugly hacks like this:

%post -n libblas3 if [ "$1" = 2 ] ; then if [ -f %{_libdir}/libblas.so.3.* ] ; then rm %{_libdir}/libblas.so.3.* "%_sbindir/update-alternatives" --auto libblas.so.3 fi fi
