If user have less than 50MB of free space in /usr partition
prelink will complain saying that prelinking may fail.
It then give choice of prelinking anyway or aborting.
Aborting results in not prelinking anything but returning
error status 0:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp# prelink
Partition /dev/hda4 (/) has only 28276 KB free.
!! WARNING !!
It's recommended to have at least 50000 KB of disk space.
Prelink would _really_ damage the ELF files on those partitions.
Do you really want to run prelink? (yes/No): No
Aborting prelink.

While this may seem non-issue, prelink is executed in
openoffice's postinst (if user wished so). If above situation
happens openoffice postinst script may be fooled into thinking
that prelinking was successful. I think this is wrong.
