So, I've got this nice little PII-350 running smooth with RH9 EXCEPT for my up2date. For some strange reason I cannot register and update automatically. YES I upgraded certificates etc etc... Up2date does show me the latest versions of packages to be installed which I did manual.. AGAIN because my machine was trashed up twice when installing Glibc-rpm (i386).
Butt
now I'm all up2date and want to update Glibc.
When I do e nice rpm -q --qf '%{arch}\n' glibc I get i686 ass an answer.
And now what? When I do the query on rpm for -common and -devel I get back i386. And Glibc is i686...
Now
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla...g.cgi?id=88456 shows me at the bottom of the page I can turn an i686 Glibc to an i386 Glibc.
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...pgrade+problem tells me it's better to upgrade with the i686 rpm (on a Xeon though).
I'm flipping coins now of which one to choose. An rpm -Uvh glibc-* with the i386 rpm's (cause I had to do it by hand) hosed my box twice so far...
One generic answer for n00bs like me would help many people I think.
Thanks In Advance!
Cheers!
