We certainly can. But I didn't realize were were arguing vs. discussing the issue. (A discussion that needs to happen sooner or later) I asked Satoshi a few days ago in private email to just say the word that he wants it bumped and I'll take care of it ASAP. Satoshi has already agreed for the most part that a shared version bump won't fix what he wanted to fix. He will just end up putting the new libc.so.5 from 4.2 into the 4.0-R Package Upgrade Kit, and it will be as mismatched as the libc.so.4 he has had in there already. In a very small way it will work around the issue as at least the base system will not have its base libc.so.4 overwritten and that would remove any problems the base system binaries may be experiencing with the libc.so.4 from the upgrade kit. Thus we need to come up with a "real" solution to the problem [which will no doubt come up again], else we'll potentially be bumping the shared version number of libc for every release. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) GNU is Not Unix / Linux Is Not UniX To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
