you're right i just find that pb.
the good(?) solution is to patch those packages missing the link. eg: gpm, fixed
now.

$DURING_INSTALL is an environment variable set during install (in DrakX). It
mainly means: "do not update current environment". This is usefull for post
install script doing too "intelligent" stuff, that should *not* be done during
install. This is also usefull for update-menus and (now) ldconfig
