Hi,
Before I file this as a bug I'd like to make sure it's not caused by
something wrong with my system. Please help me determine that.
In the past two days I was trying to upgrade my glibc from version 2.4
to 2.5. Each time I tried it the emerge process failed at the very
last point - I think when the actual files were being installed into
my system. Here is the relevant output:
$ emerge -av glibc
...
/lib64/libnss_nis.so.2 -> libnss_nis-2.5.so
/lib64/libm.so.6 -> libm-2.5.so
/lib64/libnss_files.so.2 -> libnss_files-2.5.so
/lib64/libresolv.so.2 -> libresolv-2.5.so
/lib64/libnsl.so.1 -> libnsl-2.5.so
/lib64/libutil.so.1 -> libutil-2.5.so
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 -> ld-2.5.so
/lib64/libcidn.so.1 -> libcidn-2.5.so
/lib64/libBrokenLocale.so.1 -> libBrokenLocale-2.5.so
!!! FAILED postinst: 2816
I couldn't find what that error means.
What happens after this is pretty nasty. Any program that I run segfaults:
# ls
Segmentation fault
I can't even chroot into the system with a live cd anymore. The only
fix I found was to untar the saved binary archive onto my system's
root with the help of a live cd. Then I can unmerge glibc-2.5 and my
system seems to function without problems.
I've checked that my system doesn't have any other dependency issues
with revdep-rebuild.
Here is more info about my system:
