It is no longer possible to override libXaw.so because /usr/lib is always searched before the dirs in ld.so.conf. This looks like a duplicate of Bug #201155.

The runtime linker does a comparision of the soname kinked into a libray even for libraries with wrong names. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Nevertheless for system libraries like the real libXaw they may not be able to link against any other library due to missing sources or object files. This is also true for any other libXaw application linked against e.g. libXaw.so.8. Therefore the compatibility symlinks like
/usr/lib64/libXaw.so.6 -> libXaw6.so.6
should be replaced by a real libXaw.so.6 with soname libXaw.so.6.
I'm not aware of any customer complaining about this. Closing as WONTFIX for now.(In reply to comment #8) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
