Re: (ITS#3734) upgrade to 2.2 on a box with 2.1 installed causes new binaries to be linked against old libs

[hyc@symas.com]

I did a fresh build and install of 2.1.30 followed immediately by a 
fresh build and install of 2.2.27 on my system (overlaid on the 2.1 
install), and no such problem occurred. (x86_64 Suse.) I actually have 
all of the 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 libraries installed at the moment, and 
haven't specified any special compiler or link options. In each build 
step, only the selected release's libraries got linked.

The ordering of your ldd output is suspicious; I believe if you use 
readelf you'll find that your ldapsearch(etc) binaries don't have a 
direct dependency on the old libraries. Most likely some other library 
on your system has that dependency. I don't believe this is an OpenLDAP 
software problem.
