Same situation here. If you look in the changelog for the glibc ebuild |
10 |
you can see that they downgraded it back to 2.3.2 for alpha for some |
11 |
reason, something to do with the LiveCDs. |
12 |
|
13 |
However if I try to go ahead with the downgrade I get a bug nasty |
14 |
warning message saying lots of things won't work if I go ahead with it. |
15 |
It's a little troubling as there is a GLSA about the 2.3.3_pre |
16 |
glibc. |
17 |
|
18 |
For now I have just masked it so I don't see it anymore and eventually |
19 |
I'm going to rebuild all my packages since I have a host of other |
20 |
problems. But if anyone could advise about the effects of downgrading |
21 |
glibc it would be appreciated. |
