Howdie.

Just broke my backup gentoo.

I update the backup getnoo via emerge -k <package.tbz2>

This is a very fast way to install new packages.

I do it a very simple way.
A small shell-script installs all binary-packages which are found in <pakagedir>/All

This time it failed utterly. 8O

It didnt complete but crashed with errors like

libgc.so.6 GLIBC3.1 : needed by sh

The whole system was quite unusable.

In my process-log i found the following:

....... several emerges OK ...
emerge -k /work/packages_prod_16-01-2003/All/glibc-2.2.5-r7.tbz2
emerge -k /work/packages_prod_16-01-2003/All/glibc-2.3.1-r2.tbz2
error in emerge .. ...
error in emerge ...

So this is NOT a way to install a new glibc !!

My question is:
How to emerge binary glibc-package savely ?

You just can't treat it like some ordinary package.

Have i to emerge -k it before or after the other packages ??? :?:


Thanks
Sulu


PS: I restored the backup-gentoo via
dd if=/dev/sdb3 of=/dev/sda3 bs=4096
but this is not the way i prefer to do it :oops:
