Bug 34136 – Error in emerging any package after glibc-2.3.2 upgraded : compilation stop with error

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description bmasius 2003-11-22 14:07:59 UTC]

I performed an 'emerge --update world', during which glibc-2.3.2 was upgraded.
After that, many packages couldn't be merged and compilation stops with
'unreferred symbol _dl_rtld_di_serinfo@GLIBC_PRIVATE' about libdl.so. I noticed
some packages could be merged anyway.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge -u glibc
2.emerge -u world
3.wait for the first error

Actual Results:  
Unable to update my gentoo system, since emerge stops every 5 minutes.

Expected Results:  
install correctly glibc, because the bug is here : dynamic libraries
libdl-2.3.2.so, ld-2.3.2.so and libc-2.3.2.so were updated in /usr/lib/ but not
in /lib/, so an old version was used instead of the new one.
I solved the problem after 'USE="static" emerge baselayout', reboot, manually
copy the files from /usr/lib/ to /lib/, and 'emerge baselayout'.

This may be the same as bug 38619.

Could you please if possible attach a log of something failing?

[Comment 3 bmasius 2004-01-20 01:27:44 UTC]

It was 2 months ago, and due to all the problems I made a new installation from the start, so I can't give you any log. But what I can tell you is that glibc was upgraded, but some dynamic libraries were not copied in /lib/. When comparing the content of /lib/ and /usr/lib/, I noticed some differences.

gcc failed for nearly every package it compiled, with an error like the one in bug 38619 (version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6). It occurred during emerge.

Sorry if I can't help you more.

Does sys-libs/glibc-2.3.3.20040420 suffer the same problems as glibc-2.3.2-r9?

No reply from poster - assuming fixed in more recent glibc versions
