When I stuffed up MY BL2 installation with upgraded libraries,
what I finally ended up doing was re-writing all the library symlinks
back to the old (2.1.3) library files, using commandline pairs such as:

rm -rf libdl.so.2
ln -sf libdl-2.1.3.so libdl.so.2

for each symlink that I needed to change back, and then DELETING
any newer libraries completely from the /lib directory.

And only then did I run lconfig.

If you dont want to delete your newer libraries completely, why
don't you MOVE them to a new directory created for just that purpose
and which is not in the path.

Regards,
Ron
