Don't know if it's your system or a glibc bug (my upgrade went OK), but anyway in the forums I found what seems to be a possible solution to have a working system back (the poster had a similar, but not identical problem): "I downloaded the 2006.0 livecd, boot it, chroot into my system and had the same issues with grep, sed, et al. (not able to emerge anything). exited the chroot, built a binary of glibc-2.3.5 in the CD environment (emerge -B sys-libs/glibc), moved it to my packages dir (/mnt/gentoo/usr/portage/packages/{All,sys-libs}/glibc-2.3.5...whatever it was), jumped back into the chroot, emerged the binary which worked and now i'm in the process of rebuilding my system (emerge linux-headers && emerge -e system && emerge -e ...). I'm taking the opportunity to move to gcc 4.1 (already done) and am building a new binary for glibc 2.3.6-r3 just incase the emerge of 2.4 dies && blows things up again. i'll report back here if and when it's working." m. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
