Description Zenon Panoussis 2006-05-29 02:22:54 UTC
Description of problem:
postgresql-server puts a bunch of files in /usr/lib/pgsql. 
Its %post scrptlet runs ldconfig, but ldconfig ignores the 
directory where the new libs were just installed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
7.4.13-2.RHEL4.1

Additional info:
Something like this would probably fix it:

Comment 1 Tom Lane 2006-05-29 03:24:18 UTC
I do not see the problem here.  All those .so files are intended to be loaded via explicit dlopen; there is no 
need for ldconfig to process them.  What specific problem are you having that makes you think they need 
to be included in ldconfig's list?

Comment 2 Zenon Panoussis 2006-05-29 05:29:11 UTC
Aha, in that case there's no bug. I was having a problem with
/usr/lib/pgsql/postgis.so from the non-RH package with the same name, noticed
there was no ldconfig pointer to the directory, and assumed postgres should have
made one irrespective of postgis. Sorry for the false alarm.

Comment 3 Tom Lane 2006-05-29 14:16:07 UTC
OK, closing as NOTABUG then.
