Somebody in the thread at some point said:
| I have multiple versions of libvorbisidec.so installed on my FR (updated
| factory image) for testing.
|
| Every time I reboot, something resets the symlinks in /usr/lib.  It
| seems to take the name of the symlink, find all the files whose names
| begin with the symlink's name, sort them, and then update the symlink to
| point at the last one.

This is what ldconfig does for a living.
