The old source is still available (as an add-on package like
previously, from different sites for US and non-US users, due to
you-all-know).

Simply

	rm /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2.0
	ln -s libdescrypt.so.2.0 /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.2.0

(No warranty for the shlib numbers however.)

The default symlink points to libmd5.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
