There was discussions on the regular fedora list regarding #prelink# 
files on the system. I have several from Dec 14th and a few from other 
dates back to Dec 11th. 
/usr/lib/libkpimidentities.so.1.0.0.#prelink#.QhucI5 (Dated Dec 11th) 
was printed out when I ran yum today on most packages that were updated. 
Anyway, I deleted the files. Why is there so many copies of 
libpostproc.so.0.0.1.#prelink#.<random>?


]# locate '#prelink#'
/usr/lib/libavcodec-CVS.so.#prelink#.pMEfF1
/usr/lib/libavformat-CVS.so.#prelink#.Epk7g8
/usr/lib/libkpimidentities.so.1.0.0.#prelink#.QhucI5
/usr/lib/libpostproc.so.0.0.1.#prelink#.EAjjAQ
/usr/lib/libpostproc.so.0.0.1.#prelink#.Uvu1aj
/usr/lib/libpostproc.so.0.0.1.#prelink#.a7ZrbE
/usr/libexec/modemlights_applet2.#prelink#.y9mtY4
/usr/libexec/null_applet.#prelink#.ypknof


Is it safe to delete these files? There were libraries without the 
#prelink# added to the file names.
