baselibs-2.2.* was a security update for zlib, but it broke a lot of 32-bit programs since it was missing many libraries. baselibs-2.1.2 contains the security update for zlib, but retains the same libraries as 2.1.1.
Thanks for the info.. I thought there might be some weird circular dependency thing going on.. Just updated :) W
