7 I'm sure Duncan is right. Sorry for the confusion. I just did a
8 ls -ld /usr/lib* and guessed as to the meaning. I knew it was changing
9 though, I just guessed the wrong way. On this 2005.1 profile I get:
10
11 drwxr-xr-x 148 root root 90112 Sep 27 05:42 /usr/lib
12 drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Sep 27 05:23 /usr/lib32
13 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Mar 25 2005 /usr/lib64 -> lib
14 drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Sep 15 16:23 /usr/libexec
15 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Apr 11 20:10 /usr/libprelude
