Yes, I have read this in |
2 |
/var/portage/sys-libs/glibc/files/eblits/pkg_setup.eblit |
3 |
and I understand the risks. |

|

if has_version '>'${CATEGORY}/${PF} ; then |
6 |
eerror "Sanity check to keep you from breaking your system:" |
7 |
eerror " Downgrading glibc is not supported and a sure way to destruction" |
8 |
die "aborting to save your system" |

I want to do it anyway. |

|
13 |
A multitude of apps that used to run just fine now give "free(): invalid |
14 |
pointer" errors since I upgraded to glibc-2.11 |
15 |
|
16 |
A simple downgrade doesn't work - too many apps will not start including bash. |
17 |
Has anyone done this or knows of a howto? I'm happy to rebuild a few critical |
18 |
apps statically if that's what it takes. I'm not happy chasing down half the |
19 |
system to do it :-) |
