The latest new minor is libc.so.12.212 on my 1
machine.  I treat it like a yoyo to get familiar
with NB8.  The guide available for tracking
current is

What I do is track src and pkgsrc.  Sometimes I
build, install them.  When the machine fails to
proceed I re-install the sets from the USB-key
that explains why the filesystem is a mess.  When
I lost libc.so during nb8.1-rc the USB-key sets
were nb8.0's.

The worry is the filesystem is subtlely corrupted having
lost the libc.so and having no option to cleanly
reboot
