glibc-common dependency blues...

sylk · 09-19-2003, 02:32 PM

Running AS 2.1

"rpm -qa | grep glibc" displays the below:

glibc-2.2.4-26
glibc-devel-2.2.4-32.3
glibc-profile-2.2.4-32.3
glibc-common-2.2.4-26

I am trying to use "rpm -Uvh glibc-common-2.2.4-32.3.i386.rpm" to upgrade glibc-common-2.2.4-26 to glibc-common-2.2.4-32.3.

The error I get is as follows:

failed dependencies:
glibc-common = 2.2.4-26 is needed by glibc-2.2.4-26

It looks like 2.2.4-26 dependent on its self... Why can't I upgrade 2.2.4-26 to 2.2.4-32.3?

well that means you will you will have to take care of glibc itself before tackling glibc-common ... and may i just note that the minor version is the only difference -26 as opposed to -32 so its really not that necessary to put yourself through hell to upgrade it as its the same version and there will be next to no difference ....

When I try to run"rpm -Uvh glibc-2.2.4-32.3.i386.rpm" first, I get the below error:

failed dependencies:
glibc-common = 2.2.4-32.3 is needed by glibc-2.2.4-32.3

This means I need to install glibc-common before the main... right?
So then I try to install common first and it tells me its dependent upon its self.

Did you know you call put both rpm's on one command line? That way, the dependencies are taken care of.

"rpm -Uvh glibc*rpm" will work assuming "ls glibc*rpm" gives you those two files.

Please pass this information on. It gets tiresome answering this same question.

Woot!!! That worked.

I did use Advanced Search and spend over an hour trying to find the answer without posting... Thank you for your time and patience.
