Re: [gentoo-user] Just a heads-up, I think =sys-libs/glibc-2.14.1-r3 is a stinker.

Wow. Just wow. This is incredible.

This is repeatable for me.

My steps:

Start with the 12.1 LiveDVD ( http://www.gentoo.org/news/20120401-livedvd.xml )

Install latest stage 3, latest portage. Set various stuff. USE flags,
make.conf stuff, etc. Get kernel installed, reboot into system, sshd
up, etc.

Now, I essentially reused my existing make.conf file, which is at the
end of this email. I finally get to:

emerge --update --deep --newuse @world

...and once it goes to install glibc, I get:

* The ebuild phase 'postrm' has been killed by signal 11.
 * The 'postrm' phase of the 'sys-libs/glibc-2.14.1-r3' package has failed
 * with exit value 1.
 *
 * The problem occurred while executing the ebuild file named
 * 'glibc-2.14.1-r3.ebuild' located in the '/var/db/pkg/sys-
 * libs/glibc-2.14.1-r3' directory. If necessary, manually remove the
 * environment.bz2 file and/or the ebuild file located in that directory.
 *
 * Removal of the environment.bz2 file is preferred since it may allow the
 * removal phases to execute successfully. The ebuild will be sourced and
 * the eclasses from the current portage tree will be used when necessary.
 * Removal of the ebuild file will cause the pkg_prerm() and pkg_postrm()
 * removal phases to be skipped entirely.

So, once the updated glibc goes in, anything that dynamically links
against it fails on spawn, hence the failure at postinst. This is
crazy.
