Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  emerge glibc
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
symlinks point to files in /var/tmp/ rather than the proper files in /usr

Expected Results:  
symlinks point to the proper place

Comment 1 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-03-05 14:38:34 UTC 
Make sure LANG, LC_ALL, etc is not set as root, and try to remerge glibc.
Comment 2 Matt Taylor 2003-03-06 18:08:38 UTC 
LANG, LC_ALL, etc are not set, and were not set when I emerged.
Comment 3 Matt Taylor 2003-03-26 01:07:10 UTC 
just emerged glibc-2.2.5-r8 and the symlinks are gone.
Comment 4 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-03-30 14:23:11 UTC 
Ok, great.
