  Benefits of the solution:
  Additional Ubuntu/Debian created paths
  are checked when searching for the
  libraries. This avoids misleading reports.
  
  Work around:
  Not available.
  
  Problem trigger:
  Since Debian/Ubuntu introduced
  Multiarch Architecture Specifiers,
  most libraries live in a /usr/lib/XXXX-linux-gnu/ directory
  (where XXXX describes the architecture).
  The initial check procedure considered
  only the usual library paths,
  like /usr/lib64 and /usr/lib.
  
  Symptom:
  Error output/message
  
  Platforms affected:
  All Ubuntu/Debian Linux OS environments
  using Infiniband/RDMA
  
  Functional Area affected:
  System Health
  
  Customer Impact:
  Low
