No, not for unreleased early port builds. It (we) would manage such a transition if it was in a released port, but that's a big pile of work we decided wasn't worthwhile/necessary in this case. > Anyway, I'm still unsure what I should do now.

Yes, replacing libc (carefully, with a root shell open) fix up symlink (until upgrade complete) and then everything else should work. Don't forget to re-install everything, not just stuff that has a new verison number (dpkg --reinstall, probably combined with a --get-selections and set-seletions) Wookey -- Principal hats: Linaro, Emdebian, Wookware, Balloonboard, ARM http://wookware.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
