In this particular case, it's the MariaDB stack.
The 'libmariadb.so' is in the '%{_libdir}', but then there are some
plugins, some restricted plugins, some test plugins,
then the other packages from the stack use it too. We already have a
few directories there.
The path in question is a new one:
%{_libdir}/mariadb/connector-c/tests/<some_lib>.so
And the Pavol's question is targeted on using the ldconfig correctly
so specifically the 'mariadb-connector-c-test' sub-package testsuite
would work out for the box, for which it need the library to be found.
