GitLab.com melts down after wrong directory deleted, backups fail

Androgynous Cupboard Silver badge

Back in the days before package management I was upgrading some libraries including ld.so - the dynamic library loading library. I moved or deleted the old one, and the next command to run was "mv newlibrary.so ld.so". But of course "mv", along with every other command on the OS, was dynamically linked. It didn't end well, although I did learn my lesson.
