The "best" answer to the problem of stale libraries getting linked into "new" applications (such as packages getting libmalloc.so.1.0 and libgcc.so.261.0) is to do a /usr/lib/compat scheme on -stable as well, and install the compatNN.tgz dists in there. IMHO, libresolv.so.2.0 should get this treatment on 2.1-stable, libgnumalloc appears to be stuck where it is. -Peter
