seriously fubar'ed after rawhide updates...

[Nick Verhaegen]

Hi,

I was running redhat beta (the first one, not the one redubbed 
fedora), with daily rawhide updates... Now, after the last batch of 
updates, about everything that's dynamically linked refuses to run...

rpm etc give errors along the lines of
error while loading shared libraries :  libXXXXX : cannot enable 
executable stack as shared object requires: Permission denied...

Any ideas of how to fix this without reinstalling ? Or is it just beyond 
hope ?

Thx for some help...

Nick

Hi again...

We live, we learn :) I managed to fix it myself...
I do  my updates using apt, and that doesn't automatically do kernel 
updates... Apparently, when you install the new glibc and/or binutils, 
and don't upgrade the kernel, you get fubar'ed...
I managed to boot from an old redhat 9 cd with rpm on it, mount my old 
filesystem, and discovered the wonders of rpm --root and upgraded to all 
the latest rawhide packages... This fixed it...
