Hello Bryson, ok i think you are right on this one. Some tcl packages have the
ldconfig command indeed, however you convinced me that it doesnt actually makes
sense. 

About the NetSnmp library you ship and build with your package, isnt it already
available on Fedora? you should try to avoid library duplicates in that case.

Cheers
