I don't think we'll ever see a >/usr/lib/libapr.so-x.x.x >(and _THAT_ would create some problems) Take a look at my rpm, libapr goes to /usr/lib/libapr. It's a common lib from http://apr.apache.org : 'The mission of the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) is to provide a free library of C data structures and routines, forming a system portability layer to as many operating systems as possible, including Unices, MS Win32, BeOS and OS/2'.
