One big exception. ldso.
WARNING: if you've upgraded to hamm's ldso, DO NOT DOWNGRADE ldso to bo
any more (or make sure you've got a statically linked "cp" binary somewhere).
It's only one package, but many people have already been bitten by this,
and it bites rather hard, so I thought I'd send out a warning to people
on this list too. (It's also in the hamm description for ldso, but who
reads those descriptions?)
