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