Let me find an example ... That's exactly what I'm talking about, detecting shared libraries using "ldconfig -r". The new "-m" flag of ldconfig enables us to do this much smoother than before, because newly installed shared libraries are immediately registered in the hints file (instead of, say, waiting for a reboot as it was in previous versions). If you can show me an example where this doesn't work on -current or a very recent -stable, I'll be interested. Satoshi
