The upgrade TOTALLY pfutzed my test box. After installing 4.1,
revdep-rebuild wanted to build a bunch of ~x86 stuff (mod_php among
them). I went back to the old version. I have three production servers
running MySQL/Apache2/PHP, none of which will get this upgrade. For
the 1st time in 3 years, Gentoo is really pissing me off.
