Slink upgrade left old symlinks in /lib
I've just noticed that my hamm -> slink upgrade didn't go as smoothly as
I thought. The new libraries were installed into /lib but the symlinks
point to the old ones. A full list is appended but here is libc:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 May 19 15:04 /lib/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.0.7.so--
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 651436 Feb 21 05:37 /lib/libc-2.0.7.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 645068 Mar 8 1998 /lib/libc-2.0.6.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 645068 Mar 8 1998 /lib/libc-2.0.7.so--
cmp /lib/libc-2.0.6.so /lib/libc-2.0.7.so-- reveals that these two files
are identical, so I assume the last bit of the install script failed.
I tried fixing this by hand in the obvious way with rather embarassing
results, it took me a while to put things back so the system would boot
again - I've learned that you can't just change libc on it's own.
I could try doing everything at once by a rescue floppy, but I wondered
if someone knew a smarter way, or had seen the problem before.
