Bug 831842 – bootstrap-prefix masks glibc < 2.34, while expected to mask >= 2.34

• Product: Gentoo/Alt
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Victor Ananyev 2022-01-22 18:42:49 UTC]

Extract from the script claims we want to avoid 2.34, but actually all but 2.34 become masked.

```
	# bug #824482 avoid glibc-2.34
	if is-rap; then
		if ! [ -d "${ROOT}"/etc/portage/package.mask ]; then
			mkdir "${ROOT}"/etc/portage/package.mask
		fi
		cat >> "${ROOT}"/etc/portage/package.mask/glibc <<-EOF
		# Temporary mask for newer glibc until bootstrapping issues are fixed.
		# bug #824482: Avoid glibc-2.34 for now.
		<sys-libs/glibc-2.34_p1
		EOF
	fi
```

after I change to ">=", script runs successfully.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  

```
	# bug #824482 avoid glibc-2.34
	if is-rap; then
		if ! [ -d "${ROOT}"/etc/portage/package.mask ]; then
			mkdir "${ROOT}"/etc/portage/package.mask
		fi
		cat >> "${ROOT}"/etc/portage/package.mask/glibc <<-EOF
		# Temporary mask for newer glibc until bootstrapping issues are fixed.
		# bug #824482: Avoid glibc-2.34 for now.
		>=sys-libs/glibc-2.34_p1
		EOF
	fi
```

Does https://bugs.gentoo.org/824482#c34 help?

We want to allow e.g. 2.34_p1 as hopefully it should be fixed by then.
