'How to downgrade glibc on Arch Linux?
After upgrading the system using :
sudo pacman -Syu
all browsers' tabs start crashing, I have faced this problem before and I solved it by downgrading the glibc package. but now I am trying to do it again, but I get :
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing glibc (2.30-3) breaks dependency 'glibc=2.31' required by lib32-glibc
is my problem now with lib32-glib ? solutions ?
Solution 1:[1]
just removed lib32-glibc and it worked
Solution 2:[2]
with pacman -Rcns my-package a lib can be removed with its dependancies
- -c for changelog (get chatty)
- -n for native (where you search for the package)
- -s for search (will actually cascade into dependancies)
It is also possible to search the faulty package by pacman -Q my-package against pacman -Qs my-package to see if an upgrade is possible. A rollback is of course possible if no update is solving the issue.
glic (not lib32) is a rather sensitive package so I wouldn't remove it. And it has a bunch of sensitive dependancies too.
((I have faced the issue with glibc version 2.34 and hopefully the update has fixed an issue))
