That is correct. There was an internal announcement in the Planet CCRMA
list and most of the packages are built and downloadable. I'm obviously
recommending to not upgrade until this has been solved. 

The actual cause has been tracked to a problem in the nptl threading
library and the jack audio server. The jack client audio threads are not
being created with SCHED_FIFO (as requested) and the pthread_create
function does not signal any error. I have to work on a workaround.
