Mark, can you update your glibc to the latest stable and see if the problem persist?
and the latest stable would be? # emerge --sync && emerge portage [time passes] # emerge -p sys-libs/glibc These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R ] sys-libs/glibc-2.3.6-r5 # equery list sys-libs/glibc [ Searching for package 'glibc' in 'sys-libs' among: ] * installed packages [I--] [ ~] sys-libs/glibc-2.3.6-r5 (2.2) (or, to put it another way: as far as I can tell I was already at the latest, and had been for some time, when I first encountered this problem) On closer inspection, aboot pulls in its own copy of gentoo-headers-base: ... >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking aboot-1.0_pre20040408.tar.bz2 to /data/var-tmp/portage/sys-boot/aboot-1.0_pre20040408-r2/work >>> Unpacking gentoo-headers-base-2.6.22.tar.bz2 to /data/var-tmp/portage/sys-boot/aboot-1.0_pre20040408-r2/work ... and it seems to be a header from this that the complaint is about. This is the first of 3 emerge failures I'm seeing with 'emerge -uND world' - the others are bug 166782 (which is allegedly "FIXED", but the _latest_ glibc available for x86 (2.61) is not available for Alpha) and bug 194275; 'emerge --resume --skipfirst' gets past these to build the rest of the system happily.)
Upgrade your profile to 2007.0: -Use 'eselect profile list' -And choose a profile doing 'eselect profile set $X' $X being the number of the profile -Then, do: env-update source /etc/profile emerge -avuDN world You'll get glibc-2.5
Yup! you can also enjoy the great Gentoo official documentation: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-upgrading.xml
Not so hot. # emerge -puvDN world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating world dependencies... done!

However, the following appears to have worked: # emerge --unmerge =binutils-2.17 # emerge sys-libs/glibc # emerge -uND world So: - profile 2006.1 culminates in a broken set of binutils/glibc/aboot/pam - profile 2007.0 gets fixed versions - but you need to leap the hurdle of a binutils/glibc argument
