4 Hello all,
5
6 For about the last week I have had an SELinux install running, it all appeared
7 to be working OK.
8 I was getting loads of access denied warnings from selinux about portage
9 access it's cache and things, the best I could do was to unset 'userpriv'.
10
11 Then I had problems upgrading portage itself. The compile and merge would go
12 without a hitch, but it would seg fault at exactly the same point everytime
13 when doing the qmerge (to the filesystem).
14 I *think* it worked ok this morning when I upgraded to 2.0.49-r15.
15 My major problem now is with glibc (and zlib), both when merging to the live
16 filesystem will get to a point (--- /lib/, --- /usr/lib), and truncate the
17 file (libc-2.3.2.so, libz.blah) !! In both case killing my ssh session, and
18 with glibc fricking everything.
19 If I boot off a CD and mount the partitions /lib/libc-2.3.2 is 0 bytes (can't
20 remember zlib), the file waiting in the sandboxed image is 1.5M, and simply
21 copying it over and rebooting fixes it.
22 Even running a manual 'ebuild /blah/glibc-2.3.2-r8.ebuild qmerge' kills the
23 box at the same point.
24

26 Help?

29 I tried a fresh glibc compile at the console, it just stopped and took the box
30 out at the same point too.
