latest glibc breaks pacman

Am i right in saying this?

Of course if that's the case i'm sure the developers are aware of this and are recompiling pacman to use the new glibc version   

I'd do it myself but abs fails to update too...and since this is a fresh install...my /var/abs tree is empty...a slight setback in my install but i'll live

until then can anyone point me to the pacman source code?

Sorry about that, everyone.

If you're having pacman problems with the new glibc, download the latest pacman package with wget and install it.

# wget ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/current/os/i686/pacman-2.8.2-2.pkg.tar.gz
# pacman -U pacman-2.8.2-2.pkg.tar.gz

Re: latest glibc breaks pacman

wget doesn't seem to work either... (ftp login problems)

But mozilla works ok, and btw it's:

pacman-2.8.3-1.pkg.tar.gz

It seems to work
