After updating today (from only a few days ago) I'm getting a situation that makes it impossible to login.
unable to determine your tty name The login prompt is there but after typing in the name and hitting enter I only get the above comment. Googling on this I find a gentoo bug (245370) Dec 13 that looks like it is similar.. but the fix mentioned there... backing up to an earlier version of ncurses (5.6-r2) did not clear my problem. It may actually be a different bug since I don't see some of the the other stuff mentioned in that thread. I haven't ran revdep-rebuild yet... that was my next move but had to go to a different part of town where I can't really access that machine. Does anyone recognize this problem without further diagnostics? If not then I will be back to the problem machine later tonight and supply more information. Ideas about what info would be most useful would be appreciated
