Cool. OTOH, I will most likely install 15.0 to a new / re-used partition, so that I can keep my 14.2 working if needed, as I use it as a daily machine to connect to work, etc.. Plus, easier to avoid conflicts, old libraries, etc, that way.

How about the .la files?

source/installer

Code:

Sat Jan 22 21:34:07 UTC 2022

  Reverted to an older simpler version of rescan-scsi-bus that does what we

  need it to on the installer. Apparently the one we upgraded to requires the

  real version of "find" and has additional requirements resulting in it being

  broken for almost a year. Since nobody noticed until now, I wonder to what

  extent this functionality is still important on modern hardware, but we'll

  fix it anyway just in case. Thanks to almope.

  Added sg.ko kernel module (rescan-scsi-bus has always wanted this but never

  previously got it, so we'll add it and hope it helps).

Sorry, forget that!

Didn't know, source/installer has its own Changelog.

a/util-linux-2.37.3-x86_64-1.txz:  Upgraded.

  This release fixes two security mount(8) and umount(8) issues:

  An issue related to parsing the /proc/self/mountinfo file allows an

  unprivileged user to unmount other user's filesystems that are either

  world-writable themselves or mounted in a world-writable directory.

  Improper UID check in libmount allows an unprivileged user to unmount

  FUSE filesystems of users with similar UID.
