upgrade screw up

[Brian J. Tarricone]

this really isn't all that big a deal, assuming the library works.  that 
"error message" from ldconfig is merely a warning - everything should 
work just fine regardless.

if you want everything to be as it should (package-wise), just simply 
'rpm -e' the package, delete any left over files, and 'rpm -i' the 
package again.
