SOLVED:Kernel26 2.6.20, 2.6.19, suspend2 upgrade issues. glibc problem

kansei · 2007-05-01 12:30:11

Well my system is operational right now, but I can't update software. I was running kernel26suspend2 (2.6.19), but had switched to it from kernel26 (2.6.20) (which was obviously still installed on my system). I hadn't fully made the switch over to the suspend2 stuff, but was running with that kernel, with the suspend2 fglrx and madwifi drivers for my ThinkPad. I guess kernel26 had another update, because during my usual pacman -Syu shit hit the fan. I noticed it was building a kernel, and I had to leave (taking the laptop with me) so before it got far at all I hit CTRL+C. I shut down the system and went to my next class (across campus, hence why I didn't just leave the laptop on and carry it.. ). I started the system back up later, and noticed it was booting 2.6.20. Now when I try to run pacman -Syu, it tries to build klibc but gets a segfault before actually building anything. Pacman exits uncleanly, leaving the .lck. Looking at my pacman.log, I guess I hadn't actually installed kernel26suspend2 on my thinkpad.. I must have been thinking about one of my other laptops.

Here's some misc info:

[root@cdl-magnesium chris]# echo `uname -r`
2.6.20-ARCH
[root@cdl-magnesium chris]# pacman -Qs kernel26

Here's the tail end of my pacman.log:

It says taht the kernel was upgraded, but I know it was not because I stopped the build.

Here's the output when I pacman -Syu:

The pango errors are a side effect of the upgrade as well so I haven't looked in to fixing that.

I could have swore it was kllibc that it was trying to install yesterday, not glibc.. weird!

Well, to get rid of the pango errors, you can force-reinstall it: pacman -Sf pango.

As for glibc... what happens when you try to install it alone? pacman -S glibc

Forcing the reinstall of pango stopped the errors

when I did the pacman -Syu .. glibc was no longer in the list? I seem to remember there being quite a few packages that needed upgraded, but now just 7 or 8 (all little non-base packages).

I uninstalled fglrx, madwifi, and kernel26 (so now just the suspend2 versions are on my system).

thanks for the help! now on to diagnosing a suspend2 error!
