Good conditions for a > smooth update. ;) i've got nothing to back this up, but i'm guessing this one is going to be a little trickier ... mainly because there are multiple packages that are *expected* to exist in /bin. `bash` (sh) and `coreutils` are the two major ones that come to mind. i expect pacman does not fork out to external processes, and can handle the switch itself, but it's not as easy as the incremental lib -> usr/lib update (which affects nothing) ... i expect there will be a final switcharoo at the end where 2+ packages must all be moved in one fell swoop. Tom? others? i too am curious of the progress or experiences thus far. -- C Anthony
