1 Hi,
2
3 I noticed this in hardened profile :
4 # Mask off anything greater than glibc-2.6.x for now.
5 # 2009-02-11 gengor
6 >=sys-libs/glibc-2.7

8
9 Is there any good (means "critical") reason for this downgrade ?
10 Because it causes problem with some packages that needs higher glibc version.
11 For example :
12 - iproute2 needs >=glibc-2.7

14
15
16 ('installed', '/', 'sys-libs/glibc-2.9_p20081201-r1', 'nomerge') pulled in
17 by
18 >=sys-libs/glibc-2.7 required by ('installed', '/', 'sys-
19 apps/iproute2-2.6.28', 'nomerge')
20 (and 12 more)
