Basic question: Why do I need two versions of glibc? |
2 |
The background: |
3 |
After cleaning up non-sys stuff with help of eix-test-obsolete it now shows |
4 |
|
5 |
Installed packages with a version not in the database (or masked): |
6 |
[D] sys-libs/glibc (2.3.4.20040808-r1(i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.2)@08.11.2007 2.6.1 |
7 |
(2.2)@29.12.2007 -> 2.6.1(2.2)): GNU libc6 (also called glibc2) C library |
8 |
|
9 |
emerge --depclean -p |
10 |
gives me among other things: |
11 |
>>> These are the packages that would be unmerged: |
12 |
|
13 |
sys-libs/glibc |
14 |
selected: 2.3.4.20040808-r1 |
15 |
protected: none |
16 |
omitted: 2.6.1 |

Yesterday I courageously unemerge =glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1. This made my |
19 |
system unbootable. The following thread |
20 |
(http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-573767-highlight-unmerged+glibc.html) |
21 |
led me out of there. I`d reinstalled glibc-2.6.1 and now I'm in the same |
22 |
situation as before. |
23 |
|
24 |
equery depends =sys-libs/glibc-2.6.1 lists about 30 entries |
25 |
equery depends =sys-libs/glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1 lists 27 entries of which |
26 |
some are the same some are different. |
27 |
|
28 |
glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1 seems to be a leftover from initial install back in |
29 |
2004. |
