Hello!

While playing with linux I managed to remove the glibc-solibs package from
my system.
After that almost nothing was working.
I tried hard to reinstall all the /a and /l packages from a rescue
bootdisk system but it didn't worked. It worked only immediatly after the
reinstall of the glibc-solibs but no more after a reinstall of other libs
or after a reboot. It worked after I (from the rescue bootdisk system)
copied the libs to /libs and linked them manually with ln -sf, but that
was a long way to go..
Is there any more easy way to reinstall required system packages without
doing it manually?

bye!

Most packages will work fine by simply reinstalling them. Unfortunately,
glibc is an exception. I don't know of any easier way than linking them
manually.

If you can at least log in, you may be able to save yourself the trouble of
booting from a rescue disk by using the "sln" command, rather than "ln -s"
to create the links.

Other than that, the best thing you can do is never uninstall glibc :-)
