Hey everyone,
I'm in the process of setting up a new SMGL system from the 0.9.1 ISO.
Immediately upon rebooting from the hard disk (as fresh an installation you
can have), I switched to the test grimoire and attempted to "sorcery
system-update". Unfortunately this suffered the wget+gettext bug previously
discussed on this mailing list.

To summarize, gettext was upgraded and triggered a cast on wget, which
failed because wget tried to download its source and couldn't: the gettext
library it was linked to (version 2) was no longer present. The fix was to
symlink the version 2 library to the new version 3, then "summon wget", then
delete the symlink, then "cast -c wget". Once wget is restored, everything
is back to normal.

I haven't filed a bug for this since it's a known issue, and in the case of
the ISO the fix is extremely simple: include wget linked to the newer version
3 gettext library on the ISO. This may require pulling the newer gettext
into stable though, I don't know.

Happy SMGLing!
