Description:
During update, glibc tries to substitute /lib directory with a file, which prevents it from updating. After forcing its update, it causes major problems, such as inability to run any command, kernel panic and inability to run mount and udevadm during early boot due to missing symlinks and segfault error.

Additional info:
glibc 2.16.0-2

Steps to reproduce:
1. Run an update on a system with glibc version before 2.16.0-2
2. Try to run any command and to reboot the system
This task depends upon

So failing to read instructions is a bug now? They explictly said *not* to use --force, which is pretty much a warrenty breaker in the first place.
