So,
I have some (two) ~amd64 systems I'd like to move to amd64 without reinstalling. Can paludis work this miracle? I realize with portage this would be pretty hopeless, most likely....
Thanks for any help,

You only hope -besides reinstalling, as suggested- is to put ALL your packages in the package.keywords file, keyworded as ~amd64 with your current version. That way, you will continue having the ~amd64 packages, but only for the current version. So, each time you do a sync and emerge -uDN world more and more packages will be getting into stable amd64.
PS. Of course, after putting all of them with their versions in package.keywords, remove the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS clause from make.conf. |

This problem has nothing to do with the package manager... Downgrading in general is a bad idea..
However, at this point glibc stable is the same as glibc unstable (upstream version wise) which means that you will not downgrade glibc... This means you may have the possibility to downgrade properly, but I'd definatly make a backup first  |
