## Tomoaki AOKI (junchoon@dec.sakura.ne.jp):

> And notably, the backed up libraries under /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg,

And I guess we found the issue right here: libs in compat/pkg only
keep improperly updated software alive and lead to all kinds of
funny stuff like multiple or surprisingly outdated versions of some
libs in one process, ultimatively resulting in unexpected behaviour
including crashes. I've already lost too much life time with that,
put an end to that before it's too late for you, too.
Anyways, I'm never touching that construct again.

Regards,
Christoph
