Spoke too soon... opkg update + opkg upgrade problem - help!

Good news and bad news... First good news, I successfully connected a
TrendNet TU-ET100C USB to Ethernet adapter to the console image Overo.
It worked out of the box, so you can add that one to the list of tested,
working Ethernet devices.

Also, I'm successfully using a LinkSys USB2HUB4 that I had laying around
(once I obtained a mini-A to standard B OTG cable, since this hub has a
standard 'B' host connection
http://www.lindy-usa.com/usb-firewire/usb-cables/type-mini-a-to-type-b-u
sb-on-the-go/) so you can add that option to the list of tested hubs
too.


Now the bad news... With Ethernet up and running, I thought I'd try to
update the board. The opkg update worked fine, or so it appeared. The
opkg upgrade was chugging away happily for a while, so I went for a
soda, and got back to find some errors being reported, something about
http connection failed (and I failed to record the specifics, my bad). I
rebooted, and now I have a continuously restarting X instead of the
Angstrom login prompt on the LCD.

Trying to run opkg now gives me:

opkg: error while loading shared libraries: libldap-2.4.so.2: cannot
open shared object
file: no such file or directory

Any suggestions on how to restore/recover/move on?

(In anticipation of the answer, another question - is it possible, and
is there a procedure for creating a bootable SD from WinXP? My current
Ubuntu box doesn't have an SD slot.)
