Doc Text:	Previous versions of the zlib package installed shared libraries to the /usr/lib directory (on 64-bit systems, also in /usr/lib64). Consequent to this, when the /usr directory was on a separate partition, certain applications may have been unable to start before this partition was mounted. This update changes the installation target for these libraries to /lib (and /lib64 on 64-bit systems) to ensure that these libraries are available before /usr is mounted. For compatibility reasons, the /usr/lib directory (on 64-bit systems, also /usr/lib64) now contains symbolic links to these libraries.	Story Points:	---

Description Miroslav Lichvar 2011-02-17 16:47:15 UTC

Description of problem:
Applications using libcrypto can't start before /usr is mounted, because libz is located in /usr/lib. In RHEL6, the library was moved to /lib, it would be nice to have that in RHEL5 too. To avoid problems with programs looking in /usr/lib for a symlink pointing to /lib might be necessary there.

This is blocking bug #470945.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
zlib-1.2.3-3
