38 i suspect that the system does some kind of damaging stuff because of the 2
39 versions of glibc. having 2 glibc version should never happen and i really
40 think that that is the main problem. remove the older one and reemerge the
41 new one and then emerge again the system.
42 if this doesn't work, copy the /etc to somewhere safe then go here:
43 http://www.funtoo.org/linux/amd64/funtoo-amd64-2008.02.02/
44 get the stage3 and untar it from a livedvd or similar to the gentoo root
45 partition. after that put again the /etc backuped to its place and then log
46 into gentoo terminal, not kde, and try to update the world. if this still
47 doesn't work, then ask again.
48
49 ps. don't ask the same question on the same mailing list with 2 different
50 subjects as you'll finish in the banlist for 99% of the readers and you
51 won't get any help.
