I'm an idiot, I know, but when I installed 4.0 beta2 on a machine
previously running 4.99.17, I killed my libc.12.149 with 
postinstall obsolete and machine was borked, then... I don't
remember what "other" libc was still there; but even the tools
in /rescue complained (probably by calling something else - I
couldn't use /rescue/shutdown for example [wall failed?]).
...which is surprising because they should come from one of
the .tgz's
...whose contents should not depend on an "obsolete" lib ??

I'm an idiot, I know, but I'll try to no longer delete
"obsolete" shared libs.
