For an error in use of ~x86 flag i downgrade
glibc from 2.3.2 to 2.3.1.
My python (and many other apps) is compiled for lib 2.3.2
and does'nt work with old version.

Thr emerge system is write in python and not work.

Panic!!! Big panic!!!, Big disaster!!!

Search my gentoo live cd. I not find it (sig!) and i download
it again. mount the cd and untar stage-1 on /tmp get python and
overwrite my /usr/bin/python with the version in the cd

GOOD :-)) python and emerge work, I rebuild the correct version
of glibc, I rebuild python also. Now the system is OK.

The problem is my error, but i think that a specific tool and
an howto for recover a broken emerge system is a good idea.

My english is not good? sorry but, I'm Italian.
thanks

I had the same problem yesterday and got around it by
manually compiling and installing python in /usr/local/
to reemerge the accidentially downgraded glibc.

Another good idea would be to have really system critical
applications (there comes python and gcc to mind, for example)
statically linked by default. I'm sure this could have saved
a lot of user from big troubles in the past.

Also the existence of very useful tools like "revdep-rebuild"
is known by very few people. If all the gentoo system tools
had a certain namingscheme it would be easier to find them
(i.e. by using tabcompletion if they all started with a
certain string) and read through the manpages.

Regards,
Jens

congratulation, but... wouldn't be faster to download gcc v 2.3.2
sources and recompile them manualy?;P
