I upgraded glibc to glibc-2.3.4.20041006 on ~amd64 and afterwards most everything stopped working with complaints that libpthread.so.1 was missing. I checked and /lib64/lipbpthread.so.1 was not there. Scrolling up in the terminal, I saw something like(maybe not exactly but I remember the <<< and the /lib64/libpthread.so) this towards the end. <<< sym /usr/lib64/libthread.so <<< sym /usr/lib64/libthread_db.so Eventually, I downloaded a libpthread.so.0 from Kugelfang and copied it to /lib64/ and env-update, emerge glibc , env-update and it works now. However libthread_db.so is still MIA. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge sync 2. emerge glibc 3. panic Actual Results: System was almost completely unusable. emerge -p system resulted in error similiar to python2.2: /lib/libpthreads.so.0: version 'GLIBC_2.3.4' not found. ls resulted in error regarding libpthreads.so.0 as well. Expected Results: worked? not installed if error?
I had the same problem. I was able to run emerge however, and reverted to last working glibc.
I can confirm this problem. I copied the libpthread from Kugelfang and reverted to the old glibc (sys-libs/glibc-2.3.4.20040808-r1).
I want to make sure that I typed "emerge glibc" after copying the libpthread and it re-installed glibc-2.3.4.20041006 and it worked. I'm not sure if it replaced the libpthread I downloaded. My original version of glibc was higher than .20040808 ... I think it was .20040916??. That version popped up for a few days and then wanted to be downgraded back to .20040808 so I held off untill this came out. Oops!
For those of us who have tripped on this bug, could somebody post a URL where we can download the stopgap libpthread.so? I tried to find one, but my Google skills just weren't up to the task. Thanks.
I bumped into the same problem when emerging the glibc this 20041006. I used the new nptlonly use flag and though that was the reason for the breakage but it seems that is not needed.
Created attachment 41618 [details] libpthread.so.0 that I downloaded from Kugelfang that saved my butt [chris@buu][~]$ file /lib64/libpthread.so.0 /lib64/libpthread.so.0: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), stripped
I tried to attached libpthread.so.0 but it doesn't work for me and instead I see the following error: relocation error: /lib64/libpthread.so.0: symbol _h_errno, version GLIBC_2.2.5 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference I think either need a newer or an older version of libpthread.so to match my current glibc.
I have the same problem on an x86 box. I'd love to post more info but no commands mill run.
If you have binary .tbz2 packages built, you can do this to recover: cd / bzcat /usr/portage/packages/All/glibc-* | cpio -i --format=tar That worked for me, at any rate.
Errr, except replace glibc-* with glibc-your_real_glibc_version_here, otherwise it will try to extract all glibcs ever? Well, it might.
I maged to get my system back online by extracting the redhat rawhide glibc rpm for x86_64 and using the libraries from there, others have used the libraries in livecd for the same effect. After you have enough files (I had to copy both libpthread.so and libc.so) you can emerge an older glibc. One good tip about recovery: The /bin/sash shell has is statically linked and it has most needed unix commands built-in so they can be used even without libc.so.
I had to use the rescue cd and the binaries that I've been considering rming. I think I'll keep building them. I'd never needed yet.
could someone here -please- post their emerge info? specifically, i want to know if you're all using the lib64 profile.

can everyone here sync up in about 30 minutes and try again?
well, except for the x86 guy. that looks like a whole different bug entirely.
welp. this -should- be fixed, re-open if it is not.
I reinstalled glibc this morning and everything looks good! Thanks!
