   A previous discussion of this issue (on this list!) seems to have also 
found that you can work around the issue by blacklisting the nvidia drivers 
for prelink in prelink.conf.

   Axel, might it be worthwhile adding

/etc/prelink.conf.d/atrpms-nvidia.conf:
-b /usr/lib/nvidia-graphics-*

   ?


   Apparently, doing this allows you to enable prelink as before, but omit 
the nvidia-related crashes.  I shall try it this weekend.  I suppose it 
should be possible to determine the version(s) where this issue started, and 
only omit those (e.g., /usr/lib/nvidia-graphics-2*) but it may be safer to 
do the lot.
