Hi Martin,

I have seen it before on systems that have prelink enabled and when it
is updated, all binaries are changed. However, without more information
from your system, I can't tell for sure.

*Btw, I would suggest disabling it. The performance gain is very small
compared to the security costs (not knowing exactly which files
changed).

Hope it helps.
