Watch out for missing /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2

libxcrypt provides /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2, while glibc only has /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.1
Arch for x86_64 pulls in libxcrypt via dependency (e.g. of systemd), but I experienced it not being installed on i686 and i486 (and most probably also pentium4).

This leads to broken linking in e.g. sshd:

# ldd /usr/bin/sshd 
...
	libcrypt.so.2 => not found
...

If this is the case for you after an update, install libxcrypt manually

pacman -S --asdeps libxcrypt

I'm reluctant to force-move systemd to core, because this might break other stuff which I'm currently not aware of.
