This causes whole poldek install command to fail.

Such loops make chroot installs or major updates unpredictable and when
glibc is installed before ldconfig, then its %post will fail. What is
worse, such loops can break installation order or other packages
installed in the batch.

Possible solutions:
– disable autogenerated dependency for ldconfig, to force installing it
before glibc
– include ldconfig in the main glibc package
– change glibc %post so it won't fail on ldconfig error. The easiest
one, will fix the glibc installation failure, but won't break the
dependency loop.

Any better ideas?

make ldconfig package skip rtld(GNU_HASH) dependency.
by building (linking?) it it differently; or just do rpm ignore magic?

also, before merging ldconfig to glibc package,
please find from git history why the split was made in first place.

$ rpm -q ldconfig --requires
ldconfig-6:2.27-3.x32
FHS
rtld(GNU_HASH)
uname(release) >= 3.4.0
rpmlib(PayloadIsLzma) <= 4.4.6-1
ldconfig-6:2.28-5.x86_64
FHS
rtld(GNU_HASH)
uname(release) >= 3.2.0
rpmlib(PayloadIsLzma) <= 4.4.6-1

➔ rpm -q --what-provides 'rtld(GNU_HASH)'
glibc-2.28-5.x86_64

➔ rpm -q ldconfig
ldconfig-2.27-3.x32
ldconfig-2.28-5.x86_64
