Yeah. And bash doesn't run. Firefox does work though.

doozer# bash
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: bash: Undefined symbol "__error"

doozer# emacs
Fatal error (11).Segmentation fault (core dumped)

doozer# emacs -nw
Fatal error (6).Abort (core dumped)

It's a great service you provide with packages Andy. It's still
