I have missed HEADS-UP that RELENG_7 has been branched and found myself running 8.0 after cvsup/buildworld/installworld cycle. Since I wanted to stick to RELENG_7 and since branching occured 2 days ago, I've figured I should be able to change tag in SUPFILE cvsup and rebuild. Hence the warning: *don't do that* -- buildworld failed midway with /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Undefined symbol "__mb_sb_limit" referenced from COPY relocation in sh. and you are left with non-working system. Now the advice part: *do not despair* -- you can boot into single user mode, use /rescue/sh, manually copy /bin/sh /usr/bin/make /usr/bin/awk /usr/sbin/mtree /usr/sbin/zic /lib/libedit.so.6 /lib/libncurses.so.7 from your OBJ directory, then do 'make installworld' twice (something non-important failed in the first pass) and you should be back in business. Hopefully, everyone on the list reads it diligently and does not need such advice, but if you shot yourself in the foot, here is the chance to avoid reinstalling the system from scratch. -- Alexandre "Sunny" Kovalenko.
