Hi, today, as usual on Saturdays, I ran "emerge -aNDuv @world" which succeeded without any errors. As I noticed, there was an Apache upgrade from 2.4.38-r1 to 2.4.39, and a glibc upgrade from 2.27-r6 to 2.28-r5 (among others).
After upgrading, Apache won't start any more. "/etc/init.d/apache2 start" waits (as long as I put "--wait 60000", for example, into the init script), and then says "Apache failed to start". In /var/log/apache2/error_log, there is nothing. Of course, I already asked Google and found some issues with /dev/random and /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail - I installed "rngd" then, to avoid those problems. I even disabled the "auth_digest" module. Doesn't help. Starting Apache with "-e debug" shows loading a lot of Apache modules, and then .... nothing happens any more. "ps -ef" shows just a single Apache process (where there should be some more as usual. "netstat -lnp | grep -w 80" shows no listening ports. Downgrading to Apache 2.4.38 doesn't help either, and downgrading glibc seems to be forbidden as "this will clearly break your system" (emerge says). Now "admin-panic" is heavily arising. HELP! What can I do?? Thanks a lot, -Matt
