I Assume that some of the instabilities in past releases came from the automaticcally installed 2.4 headers; no emerge action even with --deep to correct this. The documentation states that kernel headers are only relevant to glibc to take advantage of new kernel features. From my experience a lot of compilations use kernel headers. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Just use emerge -u world on a G4 working with kernel 2.6.x and kernel-headers26 2.It does not happen on a pentium3 with same headers and kernel version. 3. Actual Results: I aborted the emerge and masked the bad headers. Expected Results: Left well enough alone during the transition period, like it ded on the x86
I can't replicate that here. Can you provide the output of emerge info? Can you provide the output of the emerge that tried to pull in the 2.4 headers using the tree flag (emerge -t) so we can see what pulled the 2.4 headers in? Thanks!
Created attachment 54808 [details] Problem solved by making ~ppc into ppc by gentoo in the last couple of hours Doing a sync after running an attemp to recreate the problem as asked by gentoo it now reinstalled the proper 2.6.8 headers. Thanks for the prompt action
Closing, since the bug is already fixed.
