I just had the same problem too. I only started using prelink a few days ago so I don't have any experience with it. I just chrooted from a live disk and did a 'prelink -au' to unlink everything. Then I uninstalled prelink and cursed it for *@#%%$#% my system.
yep "prelink -au" works fine for me too thanks :-) ...
]]>Someone should really file a bug report for this... I say it is a prelink bug as my glibc package is perfect until proven otherwise!
We would not expect otherwise .
I'm very glad now that I never bothered to set prelink up.
]]>I thought I fried my system completely. Gonna try to recover the glibc package now.
I also used prelink over a year without any problems on arch. And a couple of years on my gentoo box.
Update:
Restoring the glibc files from the original package did the trick. I was able to chroot and unprelink everything. Now my system is up and running again.
Thanks for the hint!
Had any of you done a major glibc update while using prelink before? glibc-2.11 -> 2.12 would have been about 8 months ago.
Unfortunately, I don't think that I had been using prelink back then. I'm pretty sure I only discovered prelink a few months ago.
