Comment(by br...@…):
Chiming in here in support of keeping things the way they are. :-)
As Bruce said, we need libz in /lib because of possibly tar, and
definitely because of module-init-tools (unless they pull the static
version, but then you run into problems with security updates). Also,
auditing binaries in /bin and /sbin on my machine, the cramfs utilities
from util-linux-ng link against zlib.
However...
> I don't think we need to worry about libz.so.1. Thee are no other major
versions of the library so it is highly unlikely that anyone links a
program against that specific version.
No, nobody will do a "-l /lib/libz.so.1" in a compilation. However, every
single binary that gets linked against libz.so, will include a reference
to libz.so.1 (in the DT_NEEDED section). So we definitely need that
symlink in a directory such that ld-linux.so.2 can find it, when those
programs are started.
Whether that directory is /lib or /usr/lib depends on when those programs
run, obviously.
