This is a known problem, of sorts. The issue is that ldconfig
(which sets up the cache of shared libraries) runs before ths syspacks
are attached, and libXm.so.1.2 lives on the /srvd syspack.
You probably won't notice after a reboot, because after the
first time the ldconfig will happen before the syspacks are
re-attached, but before everything has been detached, so the library
will be found. This isn't how things ought to work, but it should work
well enough for the moment.
