Will this package be updated? glibc apparently updated to 2.40 on 7/24/2024. I saw this on my system update. Wanting to get to play Insurgency Sandstorm, apparently this may fix it, but I was advised by some in the Garuda OS forum not to install outdated packages. Too novice to know the risks.

@MacTavishAO Hmm this looks like an issue on 6.9 kernels.

I'm using linux-zen kernel, 6.9.2.zen1-1 https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/glibc/-/issues/11

This was fixed upstream here: https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commit;h=70f560fc22212f733647c9121c26bbb2307f2e10

EDIT: Passing --nocheck is a suitable workaround, I was able to play insurgency sandstorm haha

@Pepse The provides/conflicts on lines 20-21 might be confusing your AUR helper. Try installing the package files with pacman -U.

Can someone help me to solve this problem? I'm fairly new to Arch and this is killing my brain

Apparently Ramazottii had the same problem, but both lib32-glibc-eac and glibc-eac are having that problem

I can't reproduce these issues as packages build fine on my system. Could you paste tst-preadvwritev2.out and preadvwritev64v2.out to a gist website and share with me so I can take a look?

You can also try passing "--nocheck" to makepkg.

Could unstable overclocking/undervolting be at play here?

I have the same issue as @MaKaNu

Apologies, it seems like the recent switch to Wayland fixed the issue.

This package addresses only problems caused by absent DT_HASH. Some games have other problems. Patches at Frogging-Family/glibc-eac.

@MacTavishAO OpenSUSE seemed to have worked for me, additionally it works on the Steam Deck's current version of SteamOS. I can gift you the game if you want.
