Hi Ralph,

I had the same error. To get 22.4.1 back I did the following (there 
might be better solutions...):

1. dl lilo-22.4.1 
(http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/boot/lilo/lilo-22.4.1.tar.gz) 
and put it into /var/spool/lunar

2. edit /var/lib/lunar/moonbase/utils/lilo/DETAILS to VERSION=22.4.1 and 
comment out SOURCE_MD5

3. lin -r -c lilo

4. put it onto the hold list until 22.5 is fixed
