/usr/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found

[logart]

When I try to run commands I see this:

ps -ef
ps: /usr/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so.1)

I am unable to complete this package update process.

Hi @logart,

@logart

have you run 'pacman-key --init'?

Well, have you?

Also, please see [root tip] [How To] Mitigate and prevent GPGME error when syncing your system

[logart]

I have run through a number of posts and tried a lot of commands and everything just pretty much fails like this:

pacman-key --init
gpg: /usr/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by /usr/lib/libsqlite3.so.0)
chmod: cannot access '/etc/pacman.d/gnupg//trustdb.gpg': No such file or directory

==> Updating trust database...
gpg: /usr/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by /usr/lib/libsqlite3.so.0)
==> ERROR: Trust database could not be updated.

[logart]

I am at a state now where most commands I try fail because of the glibc issue so I am concerned that hard-boot will end up with a failed OS. Hoping there is something I can do in this current state that can mitigate this.

[Mirdarthos]

Try:

pamac upgrade

See what happens.

[logart]

pamac upgrade
pamac: /usr/lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by pamac)

Tip:

To provide terminal output, copy the text you wish to share, and paste it here, surrounded by three (3) backticks, a.k.a grave accents. Like this:

```
pasted text
```

This will just cause it to be rendered like this:

Portaest sed
elementum
cursus nisl nisi
hendrerit ac quis
sit
adipiscing
tortor sit leo commodo.

Instead of like this:

Portaest sed elementum cursus nisl nisi hendrerit ac quis sit adipiscing tortor sit leo commodo.

Thereby improving legibility and making it much easier for those trying to be of assistance. Please edit your post accordingly.

Edit:

Try:

pacman -S glibc lib32-glibc

Well, I don’t like this, I don’t like it at all, but since there was a permission denied error previously, try:

No success. I see the /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/ folder is missing some content.

[ishaan2479]

@logart Follow the steps in the given tutorial. Looks like you didn’t update your system in a long time. It’s not given there but I hope you know that you have to execute all the commands with sudo which are specified there.

Update archive corrupted

Maybe I should have mentioned that I went through the whole #! bang - that is remove the database files as root# rm -f /var/lib/pacman/sync/* remove pacman pgp folder# rm -rf /etc/pacman.d/gnupg remove package cache# pacman -Scc init key database# pacman-key --init populate database# pacman-key --populate manjaro archlinux refresh pacman keys# pacman-key --refresh And for the sport of if - at this very moment I went to update my pine phone and lucky me - I just got the same issue …

[Mirdarthos]

Well, according to:

Update archive corrupted

Hello, I gather you didn’t update in quite some time. Run this commands from TTY if you can’t do it from Terminal: sudo rm -R /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/ sudo rm -R /root/.gnupg/ sudo pacman-mirrors -f5 sudo pacman -Syy gnupg archlinux-keyring manjaro-keyring sudo pacman-key --init && pacman-key --populate archlinux manjaro sudo pacman-key --refresh-keys sudo pacman -Syyu

Only other thing I can recommend, and I’m not even sure this’d work, is trying it from within a chroot environment. But somehow I don’t think it’d work…

I don’t have an idea further, as that file, libc.so.6 can’t be found, or something…
