libnsd.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[Hector Romojaro]

Binary package hint: aolserver4

Hi,

Aolserver gives the following error when starting the daemon just after the install:
/usr/sbin/aolserver4-nsd: error while loading shared libraries: libnsd.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

After restarting the daemon, it's fixed. It seems that the package is starting the daemon before doing the ldconfig.

The full error:

This bug occurs when aolserver4 and aolserver4-core are installed at the same time. ldconfig (run by aolserver4-core) is run after the setup of aolserver4 and libnsd.so is not known.

The failure only occurs during the setup and aolserver seems to start normally when it is installed.
