There is no need to rm /usr/lib/libc.so.500 - once a new libc is installed,
and the symlink points to it, then libc.so.500 will *never* get linked
against.
Remember, the number in the filename means *nothing*. There is no less
than or greater than relationship. We could use 100 digit random numbers
for each bump if we liked. We could use dates, current time_t, anything.
Cheers,
-Peter
