Hi All, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
For anyone bitten by the recent glibc upgrade bug, I have a pre-built i486+ |
| 4 |
compatible glibc package built, available from the following location: |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
http://www.gentoo.org/~drobbins/glibc-2.2.4-r6.tbz2 |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
To repair a damaged system, you'll want to boot using a rescue disk (such as |
| 9 |
our boot CD), and then extract the tarball using GNU tar as follows.... |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
# tar xjUpvf glibc-2.2.4-r6.tbz2 -C /mnt/gentoo |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
...where /mnt/gentoo is the mountpoint of your Gentoo Linux distribution. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
If you don't know how to boot the CD *and* get access to the glibc .tbz2 file, |
| 16 |
remember that you can enable networking from our CD and then use wget to grab |
| 17 |
the glibc-2.2.4-r6.tbz2 file. All you'll need is a functioning ethernet LAN. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Ignore any "trailing garbage ignored" error; that's just tar skipping over |
| 20 |
our Gentoo Linux-specific metadata. |

Best Regards, |
