How was it screwed up? A little "rpm --force --nodeps", a little "mv /usr/lib/lib<whatever> <whatever>" .. the symptom was that all of a sudden, nothing worked and i was like, "Gee, i think i screwed up libc. I should probably move that file back where it was. Hmm, mv doesn't work. Hmm, ls doesn't work. Hmm. Well, i don't think a reboot will help, but what the hey. Hmm, init not found. That's not good." So i decided to reinstall and have it hopefully overwrite all the bad libs. But it would die at that point. I would have done some debugging, but when i clicked "Debug", the GUI would hang (i'd switch to another terminal and come back to Alt-F7, and there would be a bunch of gray rectangles, signifying widgets that refused to redraw themselves. I'm sure you know what i'm talking about, like when you run an application without the & and then ctrl-z to stop it and then move the window around) I've got my system up and running again, though, so i can't do any more experimenting. Assigning to a developer. Resolving as not a bug. |
