You are right it´s not a real solution. Only a solution to get back the old (and working) system with two installed versions of glibc in package database. thanks Am Donnerstag 12 Juni 2008 schrieb Dimitrios Ropokis: > This is not a real solution, > a problem has to be solved with tools that gent

This is not a real solution, a problem has to be solved with tools that gentoo offers, is the livecd solution? In my mind no, because the installed system must be ready to help itself! Στις 12-06-2008, ημέρα Πεμ, και ώρα 14:50 +0200, ο/η Nicolai Beuermann έγραψε: > Am Donnerstag 12 Juni 2008 schri

Hi, I guess the best way to finally solve this would be to quickpkg glibc-2.3.4 (just in case...) emerge -C glib-2.3.4 emerge -e world (or at least "system" if world is too much) HTH... Dirk -- Dirk Heinrichs | Tel: +49 (0)162 234 3408 Configuration Manager | Fax: +49 (0)

[gentoo-user] Cleaning up installation / two glibc versions

2008-06-08 Thread Nicolai Beuermann
Basic question: Why do I need two versions of glibc? The background: After cleaning up non-sys stuff with help of eix-test-obsolete it now shows Installed packages with a version not in the database (or masked): [D] sys-libs/glibc (2.3.4.20040808-r1(i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.2)@08.11.2007 2.6.1 (2.2)@2
