Programs only load the libraries they use, you're unlikely to have all |
| 8 |
KDE libraries loaded at once. This can lead to problems if you are |
| 9 |
updating KDE and have updated the libs but not the packages. I've had |

Konqueror fail to work during an upgrade because of a library mismatch. |

The easy way to avoid this is to load all the programs you are likely to |
| 13 |
be using before starting the the upgrade. That way you are sure that all |
| 14 |
you need is in memory and independent of changes in the on-disk versions. |
