 |
|
Hello! After today's system update I can't boot into it. Complete system failure. Got a message while loading the kernel: "/bin/sh: sysmbol lookup error: /bin/sh: undefined symbol: rl_trim_arg_fromkeyse
INIT: Entering runlevel:3". Keyboard and mouse not working. I tried to do as in the article "Fix my Gentoo". Nothing succeeded". On Reddit I found the post about bash and readline. Due to a "readline" build error, the system broke down. Help me please.

As a guess:- Your readline is installed in /usr/lib
- Your /usr is not part of /, and is not mounted by an initramfs, but instead by /etc/fstab.
Is that correct? If so, then the fix is to mount /usr before you run /sbin/init. As an ugly workaround, you could copy the required readline libraries into /lib (assuming you aren't also on a merged-usr system!) long enough to effect deeper repairs. |

/usr is part of /. I'll try to describe in more detail what I did. After update system I did "emerge -av --depclean" as ususal. Portage suggested running the command. After rebuilding 8 packages, the system began to generate errors. When I entered the command I received the output "/bin/sh: undefined symbol: rl_trim_arg_fromkeyse". I shouldn't have restarted my computer. I have a fresh system image Calculate Linux Desktop. Maybe I can use it to restore the system? I don't want to reinstall the system, 15 years with it |

Repair is almost certainly possible, and with 15 years of history at stake, repair seems desirable.
Using a rescue image, please provide the following:- Last 100 lines of /var/log/emerge.log, so we can try to understand what you removed and what you built.
- ls -l / /usr /etc/portage/make.profile /lib*/lib*readline* /usr/lib*/lib*readline*
You may need to run those from outside the chroot, if the programs in Gentoo are badly broken. If so, adjust the paths accordingly. |

P.s. But I didn't delete anything. "depclean" gave an error and asked to run the command[/code]

Something very wrong going on there. According to emerge.log you were downgrading a ton of packages, including readline. This could very well be the reason for your problems if the mentioned symbol was introduced by that newer readline version you had installed previously. Don't know if you maybe got an outdated mirror , accidentally used an old snapshot or maybe your whole /usr tree got messed up somehow. Maybe check emerge --info for the repository timestamp. Also /mnt/gentoo/usr should not be owned by portage:portage, but that is probably just cosmetic.
In general, never ever run a large scale update without using --pretend first. If you'd see a ton of downgrades that should trigger an alarm to not proceed.
As a solution, probably best to obtain some binaries of the previously installed versions of all those downgraded packages first to fix any symbol errors, then remerge those packages one by one and making sure the correct version gets installed this time. |

Thank you for your advice. But I do not know how to restore the system without a working chroot. I cannot boot into the system |

You don't need a working chroot for the first step. Ideally all you need is a copy of the correct libreadline.so.8.2 binary that you can put into /mnt/gentoo/usr/lib/ and change the symlink libreadline.so.8 to point to libreadline.so.8.2 instead of the 8.1 version. That should fix the "undefined symbol" problem and allow you to at least get into the chroot (unless there are more problems we can't see yet).
Obtaining said copy may or may not be tricky though if you didn't have FEATURES=buildpkg (or buildsyspkg or unmerge-backup) enabled already when that version was installed, don't know which version is available on the public Gentoo binhost.
There are other options to solve this, but this would be the least invasive. |

OK, I'll do that. I hope it helps. Thank you for your help. |

| It didn't work out. Most likely, the ibreadline.so.8.2 is not suitable. The system won't boot anyway |

And I saved the system! At least I've loaded into it. I realized that I love gentoo very much.
Genone, your advice saved my nerves.
Solution: "copy of the correct libreadline.so.8.2 binary that you can put into /mnt/gentoo/usr/lib/ and change the symlink libreadline.so.8 to point to libreadline.so.8.2 instead of the 8.1 version"
It remains to bring the updates back to normal
Thank you all for your help |
