What glibc package do you have installed?
Comment 2 Pardsbane 2002-04-10 21:46:51 UTC
/var/db/pkg/sys-libs says only glibc-2.2.5-r3 
Comment 3 Daniel Robbins (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-04-12 23:37:41 UTC
looks like the rar sfx archive is incompatible with our glibc.  Bummer!
Comment 4 Pardsbane 2002-04-13 11:51:48 UTC
I found that the new rar beta, rarlinux-3.0.b5.tar.gz is, well, a gzip file and therefore can be 
extracted. The rar and unrar binaries in the archive also run under the current glibc, so 
Perhaps updated the emerge to that version is a good idea? 
Comment 5 Matthew Kennedy (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-04-14 04:21:13 UTC
I cannot reproduce this. emerge rar success on both glibc-2.2.5-r2 and -r3 for
me.  It also works for Seemant. I will however create a new ebuild for 3.0 beta
5 and mask it.

Also, I noticed from your screen dump that you have 53 files in /etc/ needing
updating. You might find running etc-update fixes the problem, but that doesn't
seem related to the kind of error messages you're seeing.
Comment 6 Matthew Kennedy (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2002-04-14 06:11:13 UTC
rar-3.0_beta5 added to portage and masked.
Comment 7 Pardsbane 2002-04-14 10:32:36 UTC
Its odd that it worked for you, but whatever. ;) I didn't know there was an etc-update command, 
thanks for the tip, doing all the config files by hand is a PITA. Anyway, the solution sounds 
good. (masked 3.0 ebuild)
