[gentoo-user] emerge downgraded glibc and now I can't emerge.
When doing an emerge -up system yesterday, I noticed that emerge wanted to downgrade my glibc from 2.3.2-r1 to 2.3.1-r4. I didn't understand why it wanted to do that, so to update some other packages that needed updating I performed 'emerge groff hdparm linux-headers psmisc automake patch libtool' instead. Well, emerge installed glibc-2.3.1-r4 anyway, and now I can't use emerge anymore, since the python installed on my system required glibc-2.3.2. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Henrik. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

It worked fine for me. Hope it helps. == Hello Frederic. Here is how I recovered. First I found the python source in the /usr/portage/distfile. Python-2.2.2.tgz also Python-2.2.3.tgz should work also. And if you don't have it in the distfile, just download it directly from pythons site. then untar the file into /tmp (or whatever temp location you want). next go to the python directory you just created with the untar, and do the ./configure --prefix=/usr command. you must use the --prefix=/usr in order to override the standard location of python. I forgot this many times, but someone corrected me and that makes it work. Then do make, and make install (you can also do make test before make install if you want). After that, you must rescue your portage. go to /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/files. you will see a file named portage-rescue-2.0.47-r10-x86.tbz2. Issue this command (exactly) tar -xjpUvf portage-rescue-2.0.47-r10-x86.tbz2 -C / you will be overlaying /usr/portage but that is exactly what you want to do. And dont forget the / because you are untarring into root (/) immediately issue emerge rsync (it will complain at the end, but that's ok) and then emerge python and finally emerge portage Steps in brief (you may need some slight changes depending on location of the Python source file: cd /tmp tar -xzvf /usr/portage/distfile/Python-2.2.2.tgz cd Python-2.2.2 ./configure --prefix=/usr make make test make install cd /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/files tar -xjpUvf portage-rescue-2.0.47-r10-x86.tbz2 -C / emerge rsync emerge python emerge portage I hope this works for you.
