Be carefull when updating from RHEL6.1 to RHEL6.4

If you have a RHEL6.1 and try to update to RHEL6.4, you will get some strange errors, about missing libraries.

The reason is that ldconfig will not run anymore, because /etc/* sepcifies hwcap 0 till RHEL6.1 and RHEL 6.2 and higher specifies hwcap 1.

It the settings are different you get this error message:

ldconfig: /etc/ hwcap index 1 already defined as nosegneg

ldconfig cannot run after installing new libraries and some symlinks are broken.
To Fix: simply change all hwcap setting to 1 and rerun ldconfig.
