[gentoo-user] After update to glibc-2.4: /usr/bin/python: relocation error: /lib/libresolv.so.2: symbol __res_iclose, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference

[Alexander Skwar]

Hello!

I just finished the compilation and installation of glibc 2.4
and got the following:

>>> Original instance of package unmerged safely.

 * Gentoo's glibc no longer includes mdns.
 * If you want mdns, emerge the sys-auth/nss-mdns package.

>>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache...
>>> sys-libs/glibc-2.4 merged.
/usr/bin/python: relocation error: /lib/libresolv.so.2: symbol __res_iclose, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference


But I can still execute /usr/bin/python:

alexander@blatt ~ $ /usr/bin/python --version
Unknown option: --
usage: /usr/bin/python [option] ... [-c cmd | -m mod | file | -] [arg] ...

Any idea about what broke?

Oh, I just noticed the following:

alexander@blatt ~ $ ls -lad /var/db/pkg/*/*glibc*
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 864 19. Feb 19:13 /var/db/pkg/sys-libs/glibc-2.3.6-r3
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 856 11. Mär 21:49 /var/db/pkg/sys-libs/glibc-2.4

Why do I have two glibc's installed? glibc is not slotted.

Is it safe to unmerge glibc-2.3.6-r3?

I guess, emerge stopped before unmerging the old glibc due to the error
you noticed.

Well, i hope so :-)
Otherwise, it should be slotted.

Hi,
Upgraded to glibc-2.4 - no such problems (so far).
