And surprise, I had the exact same symptoms as the bug above, i.e. a relocation error before unmerging the previous glibc-2.3.6-r4. But everything was still working ok. So I did *not* panic ;-) and just emerged glibc-2.4-r3 a second time (I had made a binary package, so this was quite fast), and this time the previous glibc was unmerged correctly. I suppose an emerge --prune would also have worked. Your problem was most likely due to your having unmerged glibc-2.4, which left you with a system without glibc. So there does seem to be a bug, albeit not really a critical one, in the merge process. But it can be fixed easily by unmerging the *old* glibc version. -- Remy [1] http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125868 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
