I had no idea that Fedora had anything like that - I've seen it on Solaris - I will have to add it to my "things that you needed to know before you broke that" list.  :-)

It's from debian actually, /bin/whatever is a symlink to /etc/alternatives/whatever, which in turn a symlink to something else, and it's symlinks all the way down. ;)

But yeah, that's the library I was thinking of.

The proper way of doing it is to make a libfoo-postgres and libfoo-mysql RPMs and each would `update alternatives` in its postinst script and it'll all magically "just work". Except when it doesn't.
