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 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.

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play Insurgency Sandstorm, apparently this may fix it, but I was advised by some in the Garuda OS forum not to install outdated packages.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
