I've done a emerge -u glibc wich nicely updated my glibc after giving me a headache for 2 days.. now.. I have glibc-2.3.1

All my packages are still linked to 2.2.5 NOTHING works anymore... what did I do wrong? How should I have updated ?

More important.... is there any way to fix my system?

Please help it's kinda an important server

Did you upgrade to protage 2.43.
All version pior to 2.43 seem to likely problems with the links to the libraries.

Good luck

I did and emerge rsync but i can't remember updating portage. How can I check? (since portage / emerge isn;t functioning anymore)

you can try to do a ldconfig (this will relink all your libs)

If that doesn't work you can try to boot with the live-cd and relink all the libs yourself. (or just the ones that ldconfig wants and do a ldconfig afterwards)

I've tried both,

ldconfig relinks to glibc-2.3.1,

symlinking my self was a problem because all the old files where removed (autoclean function

)

i've copied the libs from the cd an linked them. worked a bit, complaining alot about versions still..

Follow the link i had posted. There are instruction for "library-borked" systems. Ldconfig is also worth a try.

did that but as i said, ldconfig links back to glibc-2.3.1 and emerge will not function with that lib (python breaks on it)
