a/aaa_libraries-15.1-x86_64-10.txz: Rebuilt.
Upgraded: liblzma.so.5.2.6, libpng16.so.16.38.0, libslang.so.2.3.3.
Removed: libboost_*.so.1.79.0.
Use ldconfig to activate the libraries as they might be needed by install
scripts (or to chroot to the install partition from the installer).
Thanks to Stuart Winter.
