Hi Baptiste,

Thank you for that; that's quite helpful.

Okay.
So just to be sure: after I have killed or restarted any programs that 
may be using these libraries, I can empty this directory?

BACKUP_LIBRARIES = false;
BACKUP_LIBRARY_PATH = "/usr/local/lib/compat/pkg";

So I guess I found a bug.
I'll create an issue at GitHub.

Thanks much!

Rob
