You may be right, but a package that installed both /usr/lib/foo and /lib/foo would have to be perverse, in my opinion. Both are searched by default, so one is as good as the other, except when /usr is not mounted. Because /lib comes first (I think), and / is always mounted, installing /usr/lib/libfoo.so.1 when /lib/libfoo.so.1 exists would have no effect. > (Note that I have not offered an opinion on /usr vs not.) Duly noted. :-)
