SLES 31-bit to 64-bit addressing modes. Is that still the case?
Yes. Upgrade-in-place has never worked across architecture boundaries,
and s390->s390x is an architectural boundary.
is trying this still more trouble than its worth (i.e. install clean
and
be done with it)?
Yes. You *really* don't want to have to hunt down all the possible weird
library/link things. Safer (and easier) to just build a new virtual
machine. You did document what you did, right...? 8-)
One of the things that can happen between releases is that a package
gets dropped, maybe the function's provided in a new package, maybe not.
Think of imapd that RH dropped after RHAS; an upgrade from RHAS 2.1 to
RHEL{3,4} might leave imapd in place.
