[WARNING] 64 bit E17 and the libtool-2.2.2 upgrade

I noticed that the easynews server did not have the 64 bit builds of E17 in time for the libtool-2.2.2 upgrade. E17 built with the old libtool will not function with the new libtool. In fact, if you're using Entrance to log in, you probably will not be able to use your system at all (complete loss of keyboard control). I experienced this on both 32 bit and 64 bit when upgrading from testing a few days back. I know Entrance and Esmart are both effected by this. I don't know if there are others. It looks like the 32 bit builds made it in time.

Re: [WARNING] 64 bit E17 and the libtool-2.2.2 upgrade

The x86_64 builds that fix these issues will most likely hit the server later today.

If you did already shutdown your system after the libtool update (but no e17 update) and you are using entrance as your login manager, make sure the next time your reboot your machine there is a livecd in your cd-tray. Mount your / partition and temporarily disable entrance from starting.
