while doing a yum update today, I noticed a few errors being reported that seemed strange to me...
/sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2 is not a symbolic link /sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 is not a symbolic link

so my inclination is to remove the /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 and create a symlink to libstdc++.so.6.26 to replace it. Does this make sense?
What about the libxml2.so which apparently is there because of the devel package?
Is this a CentOS packaging issue ?
