@conan-cimmerian This package has provides/conflicts that are probably confusing to AUR helpers. The problem was previously reported in comment on 2024-05-26. You may need to install the package manually using pacman -U. There are alternate packages on AUR that you can try to see if they have the same problem.

Another possibility is a new bug that causes the package to be created incorrectly. Compare the newly built package with official Arch package for differences before installing.

How do I replace system glibc with this? using yay to install this gives an irresolvable package, deleting and replacing breaks the system preventing any further updates unless you go into a live environment and run pacstrap again. It successfully builds from the PKGBUILD but it won't install due to the aformentioned conflict.

Even though I see 'export' commands for gcc and g++ in specific areas, the build will not run for me (using Clang by default) unless I add the gcc and g++ export commands towards the top of the PKGBUILD file.

export CC=/usr/bin/gcc
export CXX=/usr/bin/g++

@bmirtsching If you use Garuda Linux, pacman will keep trying to install the repo packages. glibc-dthash is renamed to glibc-eac to be more equivalent to this one. You're correct. It automatically syncs with core/glibc.

The package with Rogue Company patch is renamed to glibc-eac-roco. It also syncs with the core package.

I used glibc-eac from here just now, not from Garuda Linux one--Insurgency Sandstorm works! I did not know about glibc-dthash, but nice to know! Is it my understanding that the glibc-dthash would have simply updated the base glibc to function as this one? Thanks to xiota, Eric-dev and MacTavishAO!

Updated. Sorry for the delay. There was an issue with my email client.

@bmirtsching Garuda Linux should have glibc-dthash available. It is roughly equivalent to this AUR package, and should have been rebuilt for 2.40.

glibc-eac on Garuda Linux is not the same as this one. It includes Rogue Company patches from Frogging-Family/glibc-eac. The extra patches probably need to be updated before 2.40 can be rebuilt.

@bmirtsching The jump from 2.39 to 2.40 is a minor update, so the risk is lower. If there was a major downgrade that could be bad (e.g. version 3.X to version 2.X). Most software follows these guidelines for versions: https://semver.org/

I reverted back to 2.40 and I could not play insurgency sandstorm. Then I reinstalled this AUR package and I could play again.

If you are truly concerned, research the applications you care about and see if they have a glibc dependency. 2.40 is pretty new according to these release notes, so it is unlikely many of your applications will depend on 2.40. If many of your applications / libs have a min dependency of (>=2.40) for glibc, then downgrading would break it.
