If the cache is stale, it will look in the directories for something that
doesn't exist in the cache. I'm trying to think of a way the cache could
point to the wrong *version* of the library, but nothing is coming to
mind.
pkg #1 upgrade: old version includes libfoo.so.1, new version includes
libfoo.so.2
pkg #2: scriptlet requires something from pkg #1, which uses libfoo.so.2
bang.
