there’s some silent error in a kernel module i use suddenly with 5.13, so decided to just downgrade to 5.12 for now while they figure out what’s wrong.
i tried running swupd repair -m 34830 --force but it ended up failing with…

Repair did not fully succeed
then libc was now nowhere to be found…

swupd: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/haswell/libc.so.6: undefined symbol: _dl_catch_error_ptr, version GLIBC_PRIVATE

reboot: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/haswell/libc.so.6: undefined symbol: _dl_catch_error_ptr, version GLIBC_PRIVATE
and when i tried rebooting and ssh-ing into the machine it was now bricked basically. so i’ll have to do a live usb install.
any advice on the proper way to do this in the future?
