A sticky lesson

With a dial-up connection reaching 14kbps at max, an ‘emerge-delta-webrsync’ consuming only 5 minutes of your uptime, a free access from 0000H - 0800H, and a script that does nasty things like disconnect after ‘emerge -f foo’ and switch to ‘init 0′, You will not be able to resist the clamor for an up-to-date box.


The lesson began here:



root@kee# emerge =sys-devel/gcc-3.4.4

This does not mean dirty!



joset@kee$ eix -e gcc
	
* sys-devel/gcc
     ...
     Installed:  3.3.6 3.4.4-r1
     Homepage:   http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc.html
     ...
	
Found 1 matches
joset@kee$

Not realizing that having multiple GCCs installed is normal, and without following the upgrading-gcc-guide, a stupid action followed.



root@kee# emerge -C =sys-devel/gcc-3.3.6

Bang! libstdc++.so.5.0.6, where the hell are you? All programs linked dynamically to this library were paralized! My intention was to clean up gcc-3.3.6 since I have emerged gcc-3.4.4 recently.


After abusing /dev/ppp0’s abnormal upstream and downstream rates, I have finally learned my lessons.

Luckily, my box was revived! The solution found in http://gentoo-wiki.org proved its worth.
