Hi!
One of our local community members is getting this output when doing -Syu after installing 0.7.2:

Any ideas what causes this?
Glibc in 0.7.2 was compiled with --enable-kernel=2.4.1 (only supports kernels >= 2.4.1), current glibc is compile with --enable-kernel=2.6.13 (only supports kernels >= 2.6.13). So my guess is the user has a kernel older than 2.6.13. pacman -S kernel then pacman -Su should fix it.
Thanks! Didn't know about that. Hmm, as I see here: ftp://archlinux.org/archive/pkgs/0.7.2/os/i686/ 0.7.2 contained these kernel packages: kernel24-2.4.32-1 kernel24-scsi-2.4.32-1 kernel26-2.6.16.18-1 I ask him about kernel. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
