And possibly create a symlink for ldconfig in /usr/sbin/ as it likely
will happen with other other newer software from EPEL for el6.

as root .. :

cd /usr/sbin/

ln -s /sbin/ldconfig .

THEN:

ll ldconfig

SHOULD SHOW:

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 14 Jul 17 12:50 ldconfig -> /sbin/ldconfig

(the date would be different)

This is NOT required .. but would solve any problems with the movement
(in fedora and rhel after the el6 tree was stablized) of ldconfig from
/sbin to /usr/sbin

To be clear, it is a software bug as James stated and it should be
reported to the EPEL bugzilla (as should any others found).
