Hi, A glibc upgrade from 2.3.5-r2 to 2.3.6-r5 inside a vserver is failing on me.
It's a new install using a 20060317 stage3 built for vservers by hollow. I need a 2.3 glibc for the app that will run in it, hence the very old stage3. Running a later glibc is not an option. The stage originally had baselayout-vserver1.1.?, I've changed this to baselayout-1.13.0_alpha2 because http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/vps/vserver-howto.xml implies it should work. USE settings for glibc: nazgul-master / # emerge -av glibc These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!
