First impressions:
As anyone on irc yesterday knew (I tend to do a step
by step account when things go bad, sorry guys), the
update blew up my desktop machine. First, my
/var/state/sorcery/packages file was cleared, then as
I had autoprune checked, my install and compile logs.
I stupidly went ahead, copied packages.backup to
packages, and did a cast --fix. When the time came to
compile glibc, all seemed to go ok up till the end,
when /tmp/sorcery.* started spitting messages like
lockexec and sleep were missing. What probably
happened is that glibc got dispelled on the install
part of the spell, and suddenly everything died. I
tried getting the /var/cache/sorcery/glibc* from the
laptop, booting into a rescue cd, but  am unable to
untar it successfully, as some of the links are
absolute to /usr, and /var. It seems I'll have to
reinstall...
:(
Well, I knew from the start this is pre-alpha... My
wife is the one that is going to kill me if I spend
more time twiddling with the pc... :)
