package-modifies-ld.so-search-path
The package changes the search path for the runtime linker, but is
not part of libc. The offending file is in
/etc/ld.so.conf.d.
It is not okay to install libraries in a different directory and then
modify the run-time link path. Shared libraries should go into
/usr/lib. Alternatively, they can require binaries to set the
RPATH to find the library.
Without this precaution, conflicting libraries may trigger segmentation faults for what should have been a conflict in the package manager.
