Hello, |
| 2 |
|

Today my system automatically updated glibc from 2.12-rc2 to 2.12-rc3. |
| 4 |
Shortly afterwards I tried to start OpenOffice and it would not start. |
| 5 |
The error message: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-deps.c: 622: _dl_map_object_deps: Assertion `nlist > 1' failed! |

Apparently this is due to the glibc update. A quick fix (since I need |
| 12 |
OpenOffice) would be to simply downgrade back to glibc-2.12-r2, but |
| 13 |
emerge will not allow me to do it: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
* Sanity check to keep you from breaking your system: |
| 16 |
* Downgrading glibc is not supported and a sure way to destruction |
| 17 |
* ERROR: sys-libs/glibc-2.13-r2 failed (setup phase): |
| 18 |
* aborting to save your system |

I'm not going to break my system. How do I override this? |

Note: I am not using the compiled Gentoo version of OpenOffice. |
| 23 |
My installation is the binary version from the OO web site. |
| 24 |
Also, LibreOffice, which I installed (from binary) as a possible |
| 25 |
fix, gives the same error message. |
