Synopsis: ldconfig considered harmful

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: ceri
State-Changed-When: Tue Jan 11 16:38:00 GMT 2005
State-Changed-Why: 
"Don't do that then".
ldconfig will break stuff on any operating system, as will crle on
Solaris.  rm can do bad things to your system as well.

/rescue exists and has enough in it for you to be able to remove
/var/run/ldconfig.hints - if you don't know why that works then
you probably shouldn't be playing with ldconfig.
