Hello, A good suggestion, but this is a live server, so downtime is an issue. However, I took Joe's advice and simply renamed the locales directory, and created a new one. This seemed to work fine but then I ran into this: >>> /usr/share/info/libc.info-8.gz >>> /usr/share/info/libc.info-9.gz --- /usr/share/zoneinfo/ !!! copy /var/tmp/portage/glibc-2.3.5/image/usr/share/zoneinfo/GB -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/GB failed. !!! [Errno 13] Permission denied So it would seem The zoneinfo directory has similar screwy permissions. While it appears I can get around this, I don't like the idea of all these files that I can't touch. Has anyone seen something like this? Also, I have rebuilt the glibc several times through this ordeal, and at 5-6 hours per pop it is getting tedious to try new things. Glibc _was_ built correctly, so is there anyway I can manually copy the rest of the files from the portage sandbox to the live filesystem without having to rebuild it again? The problem is that whatever files get copied before it craps out are in the live filesystem, while files after are not copied, so I have a mish-mash of old and new glibc files installed. To me, this is going to cause issues down the road...
