Hi, While working on Freshen I managed to break my system by having it automatically install a new Glibc package (I fixed it from another distro, so that part's ok). But is there a safe way to do that?
There's no minimum kernel dependency specified, which I guess was what my problem was (the error was "FATAL: kernel too old" on every command) and it died at the point of ldconfig. Fixing it I had to run ldconfig -r ... from Gentoo and copy the cache file into /P/Glibc/Settings, which I really can't expect anybody else to be forced to do unsuspectingly. I seem to remember some talk a while back about it being safe to upgrade Glibc now, and InstallPackage will prompt to install a new one if it's necessary, so I assume that there is a way to make it happen - but what is it? At the moment I'm just blacklisting it from the dependency tree entirely, but that does cause problems when it tries to install newer packages. -Michael _______________________________________________ gobolinux-devel mailing list gobolinux-devel@lists.gobolinux.org http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-devel
