That is somewhat of a hassle and always a problem in a chroot'ed 
environment.

         You have two choices.

         1)      Use only static binaries ( This is sometimes difficult 
under Solaris ).  Which
                 everytime you patch you *should* recompile your static 
binaries and
                 placed them back out in your chroot'ed environment.

         2)      Use dynamic binaries and update all your libraries every 
time you
                 patch your system.   ( which is what I do since it is the 
easier choice).

         Either way a chroot'ed environment is somewhat of a hassle to deal 
with for
         any application.
