Also, Andreas, could ldconfig be made a little bit more silent unless -v is
given to it?
It complains without -v about several things H.J.'s ldconfig complained with
-v only, and people seem to be really confused by that.
Would you mind if I moved some of the error calls undef opt_verbose if?
It confuses people e.g. when using rpm when foo package contains the shared
library and foo-devel a .so symlink to it, then there is always some time
when both are upgraded when some symlink is stale (either points to the
older or newer library) and if ldconfig is called during that time period,
it complains.
