Ah, ok. Files, not directories, so ignore my comments.

You likely don't need to create those in %post because /sbin/ldconfig
should create the symlinks for you.

Meanwhile your %post is wrong (likely why failing).

Try (without symlink creation in %post)
    %post -n %{libname} -p /sbin/ldconfig
or (with symlink creation in %post)
  %post -n %{libname}
    /sbin/ldconfig
   /bin/ln -s /usr/lib/liblber-2.3.so.0.2.22 /usr/lib/liblber.so.2
   /bin/ln -s /usr/lib/libldap-2.3.so.0.2.22 /usr/lib/libldap.so.2

If you *REALLY* need to create the symlinks, then the soname
in the library perhaps needs changing.
