Hi I don't know if it's bug or feature, but it makes me crazy. It begun probably after some pacman upgrade. I'm using blowfish passwords with my archlinux, so my /lib/libcrypt.so.1 points to libxcrypt.so.1 instead of libcrypt-2.7.so from glibc. In my pacman.conf I have NoExtract = lib/libcrypt.so.1. But even though I've made this arrangements everytime when I run pacman -S some_interesting_package (it doesn't have to be glibc, eg libpng is enough) the link gets changed. Any suggestions?
From what I can tell, it's ldconfig who does this (try running it, it should overwrite your symlink). And pacman runs ldconfig when installing packages. Maybe someone can clarify further why ldconfig does this and if it's possible to prevent it.
