Many thanks Alan,
so I conclude that rebooting IS necessary to get the new libraries used,
isn't it?
No, not at all, you conclude wrongly.
Unix works the way it does precisely so you *don't* require a reboot to use
new libraries. They are already there and fully installed and fully
operational. You just have to start using them - this may require restarting
the relevant app that uses them and perhaps ldconfig.
To find out which files have been replaced, you can use the following command :
lsof | grep DEL
This will give you all files that have been deleted since they have
been loaded by the process.

I've never needed a reboot for this kind of problem.
You may have to switch to run level 1 to restart some important
services like udev.

Actually, you can kill udev and restart it. Kill the process and then
run "/sbin/udevd --daemon" and it will be started again.
