If you edit the glibc-2.13-r3 entry in /var/db/pkg to call it -r2, |
| 7 |
you should be able to sneak in a downgrade. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Something like (untested): |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
:; mv /var/db/pkg/sys-libs/glibc-2.13-r3 /var/db/pkg/sys-libs/glibc-2.13-r2 |
| 12 |
:; cd /var/db/pkg/sys-libs/glibc-2.13-r2 |
| 13 |
:; mv glibc-2.13-r3.ebuild glibc-2.13-r2.ebuild |
| 14 |
:; perl -pi -e 's/2.13-r3/2.13-r2/g' PF |
| 15 |
:; bunzip2 environment.bz2 |
| 16 |
:; perl -pi -e 's/2.13-r3/2.13-r2/g' environment |
| 17 |
:; bzip2 environment |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
would probably convince portage that you have -r2 installed. It should |
| 20 |
then let you re-install -r2 via emerge =sys-libs/glibc-2.13-r2. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I found a backup of my old stage3, chroot(2)ed to that, upgraded it to |
| 23 |
2.13-r2, used quickpkg to make a pkg file (forgot to specify --buildpkg) |
| 24 |
and untar(1)ed that over / to get a working box again. |
