I was using freebsd-update to upgrade from 6.2 to 7.0-RELEASE. The upgrade and install of the kernel went fine, then I reran freebsd-update after rebooting to get the userland stuff. Midway through installing updates, I got the error: Installing updates.../libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libc.so.6" not found, required by "rm" There's a libc.so.7 in /lib. I'd try linking to it, but ln of course requires libc. Without libc, almost nothing works... can someone guide me through how to recover a functional libc and finish updating (without breaking everything)? I was following the instructions at http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.0R/announce.html. Was there some step missing that would have prevented this mess? Thanks
