Apparently, though unproven, at 23:50 on Sunday 29 May 2011, Nicolai Beuermann |

Switch it to be the other way round which is how it should be. It works |
| 17 |
perfectly here with the exact same packages: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
$ ls -al /usr/ |
| 20 |
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Oct 27 2010 lib -> lib64 |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
The log entry tells you the software will not accept your configuration. |
