When I upgraded my system through ftp in development, the two packages 
mentioned were upgraded to the newer versions. Mutt and at least up2date 
were broken from the library change.

To limp by until mutt (now fixed) and up2date (still broken), I let the 
newer packages install, then create a symlink from the pasted entries 
pointing to the newer *.so.5 versions.

Thi got mutt to work until it was fixed very shortly and allows up2date 
to get so far in the gui and still work from the commandline.

A hack! You should not need to do this after bugs are addressed. A 
report was filed against up2date for not working with this scheme.
