Hi,

 

Our server is getting stuck on updating packages. We can not seem to get
past the upgrade to glibc. Sometimes it fails, with an error, and sometimes
it actually kills the machine requiring reboot, examples of both below.
Sorry if this is a known problem, but I've been looking and struggling with
it for a couple of weeks. Any help would be appreciated, here's the info
from emerge, 

 

emerge --info

The bug is not reproducible, so it is likely a hardware or OS problem.

Any help appreciated.
