Comment # 4 on bug 1198523 from Marcus Meissner

there is weird code in lvm2 that deletes libraries:

%post   -n %{libname}
if [ -f /%{_lib}/libdevmapper.so.1.03 ]; then
  # Special migration - the library is now in %{_libdir}, but up to the point
where
  # zypp removes the 'old' device-mapper package, the old library 'wins' the
ldloader race
  # resulting in binaries asking for the newer version still getting the old
one.
  # This in turn results in funny bugs like boo#1045396
  # Remove /%{_lib}/libdevmapper.so.1.02 - and the run ldconfig
  rm /%{_lib}/libdevmapper.so.1.03
fi
 /sbin/ldconfig


reporter, is there anything special on your system with /usr or other library
locations?
