Hi List, |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
I didn't find any bug report matching my experience. This appears to be |
| 6 |
the closest match: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145749. I |
| 7 |
thought I'd ask about it here first, before reporting a bug, in the |
| 8 |
event of PEBKAC. |

I updated linux-headers today to the current stable, 2.6.21, and the |
| 11 |
messages recommend a recompile of the system libc, in this case glibc. |
| 12 |
When it wants to merge the compiled glibc, I get this: |

Is there a 'clean' work around? The only option I found is to set |
| 89 |
COLLISION_IGNORE="/lib" in make.conf. That seems to do the trick insofar |
| 90 |
that glibc merges. For "emerge --info" see attachment. |
| 91 |
|
| 92 |
Apparently, from what I read, the collision-protect[1] option is |
| 93 |
supposed to ignore directories. Since this was asked in other reports I |
| 94 |
found while searching for info: /lib is not a symlink, rather /lib64 is |
| 95 |
a symlink to /lib. Out of curiosity: when would /lib ever be a symlink? |
| 96 |
|
| 97 |
Note that I will not have my email available for a few days starting |
| 98 |
tonight (Sunday). I'm sending my PC via mail to my home for the summer |
| 99 |
holidays, versus it staying in my dorm room. Yes I know of VNC, but I |
| 100 |
didn't find the time to set it up. |
| 101 |
|
| 102 |
Any help greatly appreciated! |

[1] I only semi-recently (a few weeks ago) set the collision-protect |
| 107 |
option, and until now, glibc is the only package to complain. |
