Ah, right.  EL7 still uses yum, I do see the provide for /usr/sbin/ldconfig
with yum on EL7.  However it doesn't show up for dnf on EL7.

Well, I looked on my systems - it turns out that /usr/sbin/ldconfig is there as
well.  It appears that it's a hard link between /sbin/ldconfig.  The presence
or absence of /usr/sbin/ldconfig isn't what's causing the installation failure,
though.  It's dnf not seeing a Provide for /usr/sbin/ldconfig.  Are you perhaps
installing directly with rpm or something?

Well, rhel 8 will certainly be using dnf so I think you should probably use the
/sbin/ldconfig path that it will find.  That's what the packaging guidelines
use, anyway.
