The question is why is there /usr/lib/libkdesu.so.4.1.0.#prelink#.6WYqO0.
This is a temporary file created by prelink, but it should be very quickly
disappear again.  There are 3 things which could happen:
1) the box was rebooted or prelink killed while it was executing
   (in this case just remove the file)
2) you were running ldconfig (or installing some rpm) at the same time
   as prelink was prelinking the system (simply return ldconfig, the
   file will not be there again)
3) there was some prelink bug and prelink crashed while processing
   libkdesu.so.4.1.0.  If so and you manage to reproduce it, I need
   more details so that the bug can be fixed.
