25 It's perfectly OK for there to still be stuff under /lib /usr/lib
26 /usr/local/lib.  These are supposed to be things which are arch
27 independent, such as config stuff and scripts.  However, I'm pretty sure
28 none of them should still be a symlink.  What's the link pointing to? 
29 I'd be tempted to revert the unsymlink.  Did you check the output of
30 "unsymlink-lib --analyze" first?
