Hello all, thanks for taking the time to read this.

I'm having an issue with some RPMs. Currently, I've got glibc-2.13-29 installed, and no glibc-common, but apparently I need glibc-2.2 for something. This is fine.

However, to be specific, I'm trying to install:

glibc-common-2.2.4-18.7.0.9.i386.rpm
glibc-2.2.4-18.7.0.9.i386.rpm

But guess what? They both require each other. Now is it possible to get rpm to install two things together to avoid this issue, or am I simply barking up the wrong tree here?

I've tried all sorts of higher versions of glibc and glibc-common and get much the same problems.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried??

rpm -Uvh one.rpm two.rpm

easy.

Er, I had tried one after the other but I was using -i not -U so it didn't seem to work.

This does seem to have the desired effect, although now I've got another bunch of dependancies to attend to!

Thanks, especially for being so prompt.

ahh don't you just hate dependencies?
