libz's DSO version number went backwards between updates.  Somehow this
left the libz.so.1 symlink pointing at libz.so.1.2.3, which no longer
existed.

So, bug 1 was fixing libz's DSO number, which should be sorted now.  The
other bug is why we didn't manage to get ldconfig to do the right thing.
Anyone with a clue on that?
