flameeyes is the fellow making all the fuss about this. On his blog |

he gives a way to build a decent list that removes packages re-emerged since |
| 23 |
patch was downgraded again. The trouble with a bug like this is that it gets |
| 24 |
used everywhere and affects very basic packages which are then used by other |
| 25 |
packages (that may or may not have been patched meanwhile) potentially |
| 26 |
affecting their behaviour too. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
The effects are complex and never fully determined. Consider this: rebuilding |
| 29 |
world on a modern desktop will take around 24 to 36 hours. You could spend |
| 30 |
more time than that figuring out how to build a full list :-) |

It's certainly possible, the times certainly coincide. And you do have |
| 41 |
symptoms that no-one else is having (sorta the kind of thing you'd expect from |
| 42 |
a patch that should have been applied and wasn't). |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
It's worth downgrading patch and rebuilding X even if only to see what happens |
