Latest current upgrade (Sep 17) broke my system. Now, I am stucked at login and my keyboard is no longer working.

I guess it is because of the eudev (eudev-3.2.8-x86_64-2.txz" upgrade, last error was something with "GLIBC version XXX could not be found" or something similar. The packages after eudev could not be upgraded because of this error. I cannot check the exact error now because I am locked out from the system (no keyboard) and writing this from my laptop (running 14.2).

Don't really know where to start, but thinking about degrading eudev so I can get into the system. Any other ideas?

my guess is that you are running multilib and you haven't updated the multilib packages (there has been an update of those for the newer glibc on september 11th).

boot from cd/usb and rollback to pre-upgrade snapshot

or chroot and see how far you can get working out what went wrong

I am pretty sure I updated multilib as well. Well, I have to chroot into my system and see what the heck went wrong.

you probably missed updating to the new glibc-*-2.30_multilib-x86_64-1alien packages.

What can I say ponce, you are always right, indeed it was old multilib packages.

I downloaded manually the missing multilib package, chrooted, upgraded and voila.

Thank you!

The question is, why multilib was not upgraded from the beginning... ???

I always update like this:

Did I miss something?

Oh well... I think it is because I somehow managed to add alien to my blacklist file:

[0-9]+alien
