simply do this:

ldd /lib/* >/tmp/lib.txt
ldd /usr/lib/* >/tmp/lib2.txt
ldd /usr/local/lib/* >/tmp/lib3.txt
...

do this wherever you have libs installed
then read them and look if they depend on
older libraries, or if three are libraries
missing.

then do this to verify if the programs need the
library or not

ldd /bin/* >/tmp/bin.txt
ldd /sbin/* >/tmp/sbin.txt
ldd /usr/bin/* >/tmp/morebin.txt

and so on..

another way would be this

find / -type -f -print -exec ldd {} >/tmp/listning.txt \;

this creates a fucking huge file that you then
can read and check wether programs depend on old
libraries or not..
