That means the file does exist. How have you searched for the file?
Is /lib a link to /usr/lib?

Remove /etc/ld.so.cache* and the file, then run ldconfig again. As
root. Be careful that you really let it recreate the cache file.

ldconfig doesn't make up any file names. It processes what it finds.
Btw, it understands option -n to process a specific directory only,
(ldconfig -n /usr/lib -v).

Expected. That's the lib, which is tracked by the RPM package. The
temporary file will never belong into any package (in case you try
to run a query for its path).
