Plus I've got non-standard packages (from packman etc) on there which I'm
not sure repair will honour.

That is why I do a reboot and a fsck myself first always. Onthe plus
side a repair repairs only those things that are broken So it will only
repair those files that are broken.

You can even decide what to look for and what not. It will probably also
tell you what it has found and what it has changed (not 100% sure of how
and where it does this)

I have done a chown or chmod on /etc once and a repair just put that
back and did not overwrite anything.

So now will be the ideal moment to look at battery backup and automatic
shutdown and restart in case of powerfailure. ;-)

I've tried the repair option and it finds a problem with krb5 but it can't
fix it - the attempt to reinstall fails with the same error as when I tried
to update from the CLI.

The thing is that root cannot access /usr/lib/libkdb5.so.4.0 - any attempts
to delete, link, rename produces
cannot access /usr/lib/libkdb5.so.4.0: Permission denied

I did manage to create a temp directory in /usr/lib and mv all the
libkdb5.so.4.0* files into it but even then if I try
# touch /usr/lib/libkdb5.so.4.0
I get permission denied.
