It would be nicer if you did the change automatically from post_install/post_upgrade. Detecting the presence of the include is simple done with grep, and adding it is a simple echo. Other packages touch this file directly and will get changed to dropping an ld.so.conf.d file in the future, those packages will stop working if this ld.so.conf change isn't done. The filesystem package touches the group and passwd files in the same way, so there's no excuse not to do this change automatically.
So... what are we doing for this? I have a couple of packages I want to update to this new include directory but will hold off until this leaves [testing].
I think this is correct. I thought about it and on the one hand ld.so.conf is aconfig file; but it's not one that is edited by the user but by several packages on install.
So its fine to update it during the upgrade. Maybe in future versions if all other packages use the include dir we can remove that file from the backup array.
I went ahead and put filesystem-2010.02-2 into testing.
Please sign off.
Change worked fine here. Signoff i686. Allan
