For the sake of stability, it is best to rebuild a lfs system from
scratch. There are too many dependicies which could cause severe
problems downstream. Espically glibc. I just installed pam on a
running KDE lfs 6 sys and gee nobody said anything about the
consequences of this. I could not log on (with KDE) - console was
fine. I had to recompile KDE base to get it up again. It's good to
have a huge drive with a number of lfs partitions to boot into in case
the latest LFS suffers a disaster.
