Uh, don't do that! Don't move your custom-built 4.2 binaries to system
directories, use our 4.2 packages instead (which have been pushed to
updates-testing a few hours ago).

Or just don't build your own at all and test our update from updates-testing
instead. Or just wait for it to hit updates, which should be in a couple
weeks or so, give or take a few days depending on how many issues are found
and have to be fixed.
