sadly nothing concluded in the past (read: nothing was fixed)

i'll apply your patch and push after some testing

however, i'd like to comment few parts:

in my case the last scriptlet was skipped as pointed out by jacek,
and the problem was that after whole rpm transaction was finished one 
last ldconfig was not ran so the last library SONAME symlinks were missing
and the package own scriptlet did not invoke any program from package.

even the fix may seem simple, it's not a solution, as packages may be 
upgraded automatically and end user should not know that he needs to run 
sudo ldconfig to troubleshoot. pld linux th is rolling distro, so the 
updates are not scheduled to 4th month of the year like some other distro.


also the optimization is pointless nowadays, as glibc has 
/var/cache/ldconfig/aux-cache which makes redundant ldconfig calls noop.

i prefer reliability over broken optimization.
