This is as likely to be that sometimes packages do
   %post -p /sbin/ldconfig
and somethimes
   %post
    /sbin/ldconfig
and sometimes something else entirely handling sonames.

The problem is well known, has poppped up repeatedly, is way too complicated
to analyze back to the root cause (which was that only /bin/sh has 
"rpm_script_t" as
exec context type), is "fixed" in rpm-4.3.3 (for FC4), and will be fixed 
elsewhere
as soon as I find a "rpm_execcon" symbol in a libselinux that I can link 
against,
and the problem is almost certainly going to reappear a few more times 
because
of the complicated logistics of matching libselinux, a version of rpm, 
and current policy
on user machines with the volume of changes that are now pretty routine 
in FC.

So please make sure you're running rpm-4.3.3 and whatever libselinux is 
current
in FC4 before claiming anything about *.so file contexts going awry.

Again, just a hunch, I have insufficient detail to chase the problem 
home. Wanna bet? ;-)
