Hi there, I just tried to upgrade a older installation via binary packages and this broke my system. After around 25 packages of almost 300 it stopped with error and failing packages.
$ emerge Failed to validate a sane '/dev'. bash process substitution doesn't work; this may be an indication of a broken '/dev/fd'. $ ls -l /dev/fd/ insgesamt 0 lrwx------ 1 root root 64 6. Sep 14:18 0 -> /dev/pts/0 lrwx------ 1 root root 64 6. Sep 14:18 1 -> /dev/pts/0 lrwx------ 1 root root 64 6. Sep 14:18 2 -> /dev/pts/0 lr-x------ 1 root root 64 6. Sep 14:18 3 -> /proc/27261/fd --> looks allright, but: $ bash bash: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by /lib64/ libreadline.so.8) --> system broken(!), cannot start any shell anymore, cannot install anything anymore and it's obvious that the system is bricked after reboot or even when the ssh session I'm logged in is closed. It seems like as if sys-libs/readline-8.1_p1-r1-1:0/8::gentoo is installed *before* installing a suitable glibc, breaking any binary that has the useflag readline (including bash). Two questions: How do I get out of this mess? Why does portage not work in correct package order? Portage bug?
