(In reply to comment #0) > on startx command: > X: relocation error: X: symbol __guard, version GLIBC_2.3.2 not definied in > file libc.so.6 with link time reference > xinit: server error Well, considering this is Glibc 2.4 and not another 2.3 branch release, I think recompiling certain packages is a given. SpanKY, let me know if this is expected. If so, I'll mark this INVALID.
well i'm thinking this is just X sucking again the __guard symbol has moved from the libc to ldso ... thank RedHat ;) but packages shouldnt care where the symbol is as long as ldso can resolve it ... but since X mucks around in ELF internals, i'm not too surprised that it broke ...
Well, that's fun. I'll mark this CANTFIX then. Long story short: just recompile X.
Talking to some of the other developers, it appears X isn't the only thing to break on 2.4. Also, solar figures that it's possible not everyone will break, and we have reports that modular users might be ok, but don't take my word for it. So, I revise my previous statement to: if it breaks, recompile it.
I'd like to see some elf output from somebody that hits this bug. We can probably rebind or remove references vs having to do a full recompile. WE might as well reopen it also or a bunch of dupes may be filed and I'd rather ppl find an existing bug.
I also had X die on me and tar died on another as well. Here is the emerge info for that system were tar died.

Not sure that this is a problem with x11-xorg, I've no problem with modular xorg-server-7.0, but I have the same 'relocation error: <pkg-XYZ>: symbol __guard, version GLIBC_2.3.2 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference' error with other packages: syslog-ng, nfs, ssh, rsync, arts and many others. Re-emerging the failing packages resolves the proble, but how to find which are affected, other than wait untill I try to execte something? '

I think there should have been a warning after I emerged glibc 2.4 about the likely possibility of having to rebuild xorg and some other packages. I would rather have rebuilt those packages while I am using my computer (just because), instead of restarting my computer to find it borked. I'm now going to have to wait 30 minutes while xorg rebuilds :(, and without being able to use my computer no less!!
Or having to reinstall... Just outa curiosity, why isn't 2.4 backwards compatible?

Link: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/hardened/pax-utils.xml I'm not going to explain it on this bug. This bug is about the __guard symbol in Xorg. Bugs are not for idle chat. IRC is for that.
Could revdep-rebuild have caught--or be modified to catch--this sort of problem?

(In reply to comment #16) > Or having to reinstall... > Just outa curiosity, why isn't 2.4 backwards compatible? Because RedHat decided to implement stack protection differently from the way we did it in 2.3.6. Note that it's not a point release (i.e. it's not 2.3.7).

try using busybox to repair the system
Just a note, it appears that bug 125988 is a duplicate of this bug. It mentions __guard specifically.
I hit this too, and re-emerging xorg-x11 fixed it.
FWIW, I did a partial restore from my backup using the Gentoo LiveCD. I'm in the process now of re-emerging the packages that display errors (because I updated them between the backup and updating glibc or because of some other issues with updating glibc). I seem to be pretty safe for now. Still don't know what I would have to do to update to glibc 2.4.0 safely in the future (I'll sit this one out for a while). Thanks.
ok, glibc-2.4-r1 should resolve this if you guys have a broken system and are unable to sync/re-emerge glibc, then you can grab prebuilt lib's to work around this issue: # bb # wget http://dev.gentoo.org/~vapier/amd64_libssp_simple.so # mv amd64_libssp_simple.so /lib/libssp_simple.so # echo /lib/libssp_simple.so > /etc/ld.so.preload for x86 users, just change the "amd64" to "x86" once you've installed glibc-2.4-r1 then, just delete /lib/libssp_simple.so and /etc/ld.so.preload and you should be all set thanks to solar for this little hack workaround
those libs no longer exist; see attachments in Bug 125988 for them
