Unrelated to this, to recover: Boot single user (wiht a boot menu, or drop to boot prompt and 'boot-s') export PATH=/rescue mount -a # so it's read-write / this provides ifconfig, route to connect to the internet, and ftp and tar to unpack a new base.tgz. Most likely, you had: libc.so.12.207, libc.so.12.208 >From unpacking older sets, you gained a symlink to an older minor: libc.so.12 -> libc.so.12.207 Postinstall apparently sees, "old minors! I can get rid of it!" It should probably check that it's not in use.
