multilib, Oct 20th's updates, and current


So with the change to glibc, hold off on updating, if you're on multilib until that version of glibc updates? (I haven't used current when there's been a glibc update or rebuild.)

Using current and multilib and I updated with no issues so far. However, I use the massconvert32.sh script to create the compat32 packages. Though it might be safer to hold off until the multilib glibc gets updated.

Was my thinking, as well, and it doesn't look like there are any security updates needed.

Freetype was upgraded with a security fix. Though it looks like you should be able to update that in isolation.
