PostPosted: Tue May 20, 2003 2:53 am    Post subject: portage not working anymore Reply with quote

i just switched from gentoo unstable to gentoo stable(or at least i wanted that)
the problem is that when i did emerge -u system portage upgraded glibc 2.3.2 to glibc 2.3.1 and now nothing is working anymore(exept for lynx -thanx god- and other minor apps)
emergs gives me this output
Code:

python2.2: /lib/libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required by python2.2)

it seems that switching to stable was not just as stable as i thought it would be...
i've entirely broken my system without knowing it...

any suggestion its verry welcomed...
oh on btw,i don't thinck i will reboot anytime soon cause i'm sure other things will complain about the glibc thing...bet when this comes(the reboot) i just do NOT wanna think about it...

emerge -e world maybe? Then go away on holiday for a couple of weeks! That should (I think) make everything be recompiled with the slightly older glibc.

Well, I remember doing an emerge -u system when I first started using gentoo. Ended up having to reinstall. I don't think emerge -u system is a very safe thing to do :(

well,i've managed to get portage again
i've recompiled python and then overwrited the python binaries...
now emerge works again but what shall i do now...
at the moment i'm trying to revert glibc back to 2.3.2

the question is,should i stick with stable or not??

oh and thanx for your input stu

//later edit
glibc 2.3.2 is installed,now trying to compile python again
i'll guess i should stick with ~x86 cause it seemd more stable than the _stable_ :P

any further sugestions are welcomed

let me know how that goes for you -- I've borked my system big time, and am getting similar errors. A few nights back I made the mistake of doing a
Code:

emerge rsync && emerge -uU world

without bothering to look at what's gonna get emerged.

X died.
Firebird/Mozilla died.
Damn near all my apps died.

I managed to recompile a few things, and now am manually emerging glibc 2.3.2-r1

we'll see how things go.

cgansen>>i dont know why you were trying to emerge -uU ...cause only one option is necessary...u is for upgrade and U is for upgrade only(the package number could not be smaller after update)

i may give u an advice:do not compile manually glibc cause u might broke it ..it's not worth it(cause u'll have to reemerge it after)
try upgrade only Python for the current glibc u are using.....and then you will observe that portage works again...
if you will upgrade/downgrade then glibc i'm sure that you'll need an emerge -e world..cause all big packages (eg mozilla,xfree,evolution..etc) are not going to work without recompiling..

well i've managed to solve my problem :P

i can presume that if u have gcc/portage working u can fix your system no matter what..(just dont reboot it)
p.s. i can give u if you want my python binaries for glibc-2.3.1-r4 or glibc-2.3.2-r1
//EDIT:and btw,what is your current glibc and your stable/unstable option in /etc/make.conf

currently have 2.3.2-r1 installed and working flawlessly. All programs are running happily. As for stable/unstable...I have make.conf to accept only stable. All unstable packages are my own doing (so I have noone to blame but myself ;) )

Recently my system crashed during an emerge. On reboot almost nothing ran due to missing libraries. Running ldconfig fixed everything. I'm not sure if this related. I think my crash was caused by the CFQ scheduler in mm-sources as dicumented in another topic

Downgrading glibc is a really bad thing, you can ask any dev about this. It's not a problem with x86 vs. ~x86, but running a glibc with another version than your system was compiled for. If portage works you can recompile your system with
Code:
emerge -e world
to use the installed glibc.

I've got the same problem. Would you mind posting where you got Glibc2.3.2 and what all you did to install it? I know Linux reasonably well, but I'm essentially a Gentoo newbie.

Edit: NM! I found a solution here

Glibc 2.3.2 can be found here: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/glibc

Along with linuxthreads which you will likely need.

Had same problem so compiling glibc 2.3.2 manually as I write.
