glibc update and /lib/modules/extramodules-3.4-ARCH/kernel/oss/ folde

capoeira · 2012-07-14 13:47:46

so I made the steps mentioned here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De … iki:usrlib

after doing "find /lib -exec pacman -Qo -- '{}' \+" I see I have a lot of stuff in "/lib/modules/extramodules-3.4-ARCH/kernel/oss/" folder, BUT I don't even have oss installed. So I wonder, why are they there, and if I can delete this folder?

Does any package own those files?

I suggest to keep a backup for a couple of days and if libraries are missing, copy them to /usr/lib/...

If a file is not owned by any package, as is the case for all files in this list (except for the ones owned by glibc), can I then just remove it? I might make a backup of those files just to be sure, but it doesn't make sense to just copy this stuff to /usr/lib.

Judging from your output, it should be safe to remove the /lib/modules and /lib/udev directories in their totality (and afterwards simply follow the steps outlined in the news item).

Thanks, system is up-to-date again.

leodag · 2012-07-14 16:18:12

Something similar happened to me, but then i copied /lib/modules to /usr/lib/modules, and then removed /lib/, because all files still in it were owned by glibc and I thought: when I reinstall glibc, it will recreate all these files in /usr/lib.
Result: As I haven't rebooted the system yet, I can still use the programs I had opened, but I can't start any program, except cd from the shell I had opened (not rooted).

Considering that I copied /lib/modules, I suppose I won't have any problems with other packages. What I want to know is: can I boot a live CD, copy its /lib to mine and boot it like nothing happened?

@leodag, you should have read the news. now you got a problem
@pinpong, read the whole news

triton60 · 2012-07-14 16:46:43

@pingpong
Have you followed this guide

I had a similar problem to you and had issue 2 in the guide, running the following command showed I still had a file which referenced /lib

grep '^lib/' /var/lib/pacman/local/*/files

@triton60
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have followed the guide, just that I'm puzzled about what to do at that step. The output of that "grep" command in my system is:

A bunch of things under /var/lib/pacman/local/glibc-2.16.0-1/files

which I suppose I don't need to worry about (right?) and

/var/lib/pacman/local/lib32-glibc-2.15-10/files:lib/
/var/lib/pacman/local/lib32-glibc-2.15-10/files:lib/ld-linux.so.2

But I don't know how to rebulid lib32-glibc-2.15-10 so as not to include the /lib directory as suggested in the guide.

@capoeira actually I did read the news. I read everything since the discussion in arch-dev-public. I don't really understand why I did that, but do you know if I can dowhat I said (copy /lib from a live cd and copy /lib/modules from the copy I made)?

I would say try it. Or better: is the old glibc package still in you package cache? Then extract the /lib from there.

I did successfully update glibc after removing the /var/lib/pacman/local/lib32-glibc-2.15-10/
And so far everything looks fine after reboot.

Since I couldn't find that package installed on my system anymore so I decided to do that. However, I do NOT know if that's safe for others to do something similar.
In fact, I think the guide should elaborate a bit on "These packages need rebuilding so as not to include the /lib directory". I suppose there must be an archwiki talks about that already but I believe some pointers and/or examples will help a lot of people.

Tried it... kernel panics when I try to boot, says something about kernel being 3.4-pf. Going to try getting glibc from the cache.

pingpong, please use [ code ] tags when pasting snippets. Please edit your post and add them

triton60 · 2012-07-14 19:22:39

@pingpong
Sorry for not replying earlier.

I had an issue with google-earth still having a reference to the lib directory so I simply uninstalled it then updated glibc.

I am not sure what is entailed with regards building the packages so they don't reference the lib directory.

Still, glad you got it sorted.

Andrew.

leodag · 2012-07-14 19:36:01

Just in case someone did the same retarded thing as me ( # rm -r /lib ), try using a live cd to extract /lib from the latest glibc package in pacman's cache.

pingpong · 2012-07-14 19:45:56

@Inxsible Thanks for telling me about the [ code ] tag. In fact, I was wondering how people posted their snippets...

@triton thanks for sharing. It's already quite helpful.

I hope the experts will "upgrade" the guide. In fact, I was also confused by what can be/should be deleted in /lib just like leodag when I failed the first time. Luckily, I simply moved the files in /lib to another place (which already caused the system not bootable) and was able to recover from that by booting up with a rescue disk and move those files back to their original place.
