I updated 6474558, the current live bug for this issue. I think we need to do some more hackery here, ie postpatch to reapply the old fs-usr perhaps. Not something I like personally, but I am not seeing an easy way of doign this, pkgcond could detect if we are patching a miniroot and backup and restore fs-usr. Enda
