Postinstall flags these files as obsolete...

# postinstall -s . -d / check obsolete                       
Source directory: .
Target directory: /

        Remove obsolete file /lib/libcrypto.so.2.1
        Remove obsolete file /lib/libm.so.0.2
        Remove obsolete file /lib/libm387.so.0.0
        Remove obsolete file /lib/libtermcap.so.0.5
        Remove obsolete link /lib/libtermlib.so.0.5
        Remove obsolete file /lib/libutil.so.7.6
        Remove obsolete link /usr/lib/libc.so.12.128.2

...However (for example)...

Which means that if we run postinsall `fix', it renders the system unbootable.

>How-To-Repeat:

Check out the latest cvs src module in the netbsd-3 branch.
$ cd /usr/src
$ ./build.sh -u -U -T /usr/obj/TOOLDIR.i386 tools
$ ./build.sh -u -U -T /usr/obj/TOOLDIR.i386 release
become root.
# cd /
# pax -zrvpe -f /usr/src/releasedir/i386/binary/sets/kern-GENERIC.tgz
# shutdown -r now
# ./build.sh -u -U -T /usr/obj/TOOLDIR.i386 install=/

All is well.

BUT!!!! When after running etcupdate, if you go ahead with `postinstall fix obsolete' it breaks the system.
