Since Fedora 28 (our minimum supported build), ldconfig is called
automatically for us:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Removing_ldconfig_scriptlets

These changes appear to be implemented for rhel > 7 as well, so only
run ldconfig on rhel7

s/rhel/RHEL/g

Also we are allowed to say "RHEL 8" now ;)

IIUC ldconfig should be called after installing the libraries, but
here we're calling it in %post(un) for the client subpackage which
I believe is incorrect. We should fix that too.

Your changes look good otherwise, and it doesn't really matter in
which order the changes are applied, so

Calling /sbin/ldconfig from postun is recommended on fedora < 28 (and 
thus I presume rhel7), according to:

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Scriptlets/

The wiki page in the git commit also indicates that previously packages 
would call /sbin/ldconfig on postun too, with the %postun -p 
/sbin/ldconfig call

What I was pointing out is that you're supposed to run ldconfig
after (un)installing libraries: our libraries are shipped in the
libvirt-libs package, but according to the spec file we're running
ldconfig after (un)installing the client binaries instead, and that
seems like a bug to me.

Ah yes. Probably missed when libvirt-libs was split out of 
libvirt-client, commit 70b4f0e719cd

It would certainly look that way.

I guess we didn't get bug reports about this because most people
install libraries, daemon and clients all at the same time.
