Description Florian Weimer 2016-05-09 10:44:56 UTC

The ldconfig manual says:

  -X     Don't update links.

However, “ldconfig -X” still removes stale symbolic links, which is confusing.

Already fixed in rawhide.

Comment 2 Florian Weimer 2016-05-09 10:48:45 UTC

Fixed for 2.23 upstream with this new backport:

commit c4294bd8620fabf0afddc2b85701371fafd40a6b
Author: Florian Weimer <fweimer>
Date:   Mon Mar 7 22:06:18 2016 +0100

    ldconfig: Do not remove stale symbolic links with -X [BZ #19610]
    
    (cherry picked from commit 920b35c92ed8f41796c090c2819434e56701da5b)
