We've fixed this problem by building a temporary wget inside openssl
compile It keeps wget working during openssl. The other option, which
is similar to yours, was to keep the old openssl binary around for a
little bit until everything's recompiled to the new one.

e.g. keep /old.libs around longer (say until the UP_TRIGGERS for
openssl is finished)? Would that work for all libraries (while
<package>/UP_TRIGGERS is running, don't clean $BACKUP_LIBS or some
such)?

When Andrew and I discussed this issue before, I didn't really have
anything fleshed out like your spell idea, but I'd still like to see it
generalized.

I don't think we need to make it a special spell -- if we're going to
fix it for this openssl issue, we could make sorcery smarter by keeping
an index of what's linked to what (similar to what I pointed out in your
blog) and have sorcery not dispel that libary until the index of what's
linked to what sees that openssl 0.9.7 is no longer needed, and then,
when it does see that it's no longer needed, have it automatically
removed.

I like this idea, though it adds to the amount of information we store
about packages it sounds (to my mind ;)) like it could fix most of the
library issues all around.

A kind of temporary alien store until the libraries are no longer
useful.

We'd have to add "gaze visa" to gaze alien just so people can see what's
lurking around. cleanse --fix would then not just check against what
links or doesn't link, it would check to see what links to a visa'd
alien file and then rebuild it.

Cleaner, IMO, than adding generic spells for libraries.
