Always getting "not a symbolic link" message, while installing any package

Question

When I am installing any package in my centos 6.0 system, by yum or rpm, I always getting /sbin/ldconfig: /usr/lib64/libreadXMLnew.so.1 is not a symbolic link message.

There is never a problem in installation, but what is a need of softlink for this file, which I have manually copied? Is there any problem to the system with this?
The files I have copied was:

[root@localhost Downloads]# ls -l /usr/lib64/libreadXMLnew*
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 291414 Mar  5 16:31 /usr/lib64/libreadXMLnew.so.1
-rwxrwxr-x. 1 root root 291414 Mar  5 15:28 /usr/lib64/libreadXMLnew.so.1.0
[root@localhost Downloads]# 

Solution

RPM(Red Hat Package Manager) verifies if all dependencies are installed and are as expected. Symbolic Link check is part of that verification.

I guess, you can skip link verification using --nolinkto.

or

Just remove regular file libreadXMLnew.so.1 and :

ln -s /usr/lib64/libreadXMLnew.so.1.0 /usr/lib64/libreadXMLnew.so.1

Symbolic links will be followed during linking/loading anyway.

Apparently RPM is supposed to create a sym-link instead it finds a regular file. It doesn't know what to do, hence it throws message.

Thanks,but why it is searching libreadXMLnew.so.1, I mean while installing any package, or updating any package?
