Hello, now I tried again to emerge the new version of glibc, but it failed again. After the emerge (and even after rebooting), some important programs, such as login and python no longer work. They cause segmentation fault. To boot the system I had to add init=/bin/bash to the GRUB command line. To recover I had to boot from a livecd and copy the working glibc files from a livecd image into /lib.
I tried again to emerge glibc. This time I first removed make.conf to make sure that none of the settings there could cause the error. But I had to recover again. Has anyone else this problem? Does anyone have a clue why it happens? It is the same thing that has happened every time I tried to emerge a version of glibc. So it seems like I have to update glibc only when a new livecd image comes out, by mounting it and copying over the glibc files from it to to /lib. Or are there binary packages released which I can use instead? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
