krb5 up2date tangle on RHEL4

Running up2date on RHEL4 (x86_64) works OK except for some krb5 packages. I downloaded the RPMs to update by hand, but that didn't help. Here's how it goes:

Code:

# ll *rpm
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 895974 Aug 15 14:47 krb5-devel-1.3.4-49.x86_64.rpm
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 493895 Aug 15 14:49 krb5-libs-1.3.4-49.i386.rpm
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 531526 Aug 15 14:47 krb5-libs-1.3.4-49.x86_64.rpm
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 895390 Aug 15 14:47 krb5-workstation-1.3.4-49.x86_64.rpm

# rpm -Uvh *rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        krb5-libs = 1.3.4-46 is needed by (installed) krb5-devel-1.3.4-46.i386

I don't understand. Why doesn't it realize that I'm installing a new version of krb5-devel, which presumably uses the new krb5-libs that are being installed?

Your forgetting the krb5-devel-1.3.4-49.i386.rpm file. Either download and install the missing package with the rest or try;

rpm -e krb5-devel-1.3.4-46.i386

Thanks. That did the job.

The i386 version wasn't available through my subscribed "channels". I found a copy in Europe, though. When I added it to the mix, the update went OK. Now up2date tells me that it's fully updated.

You may want to consider adding the CentOS4 repos to the mix for future use;
