Failed dependencies in RPM


I'm using Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 3.0 I'm trying to upgrade mty system via RPM's. I have 349 packages to upgrade. I've already built a number of packages from SRC's that is down load from Red Hat. How ever I'm having a problem upgradin the glibc packages. I get the following messge below:

[root@localhost root]# rpm -Uv /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/*.*
warning: package glibc = 2.3.2-95.30 was already added, replacing with glibc <= 2.3.2-95.31

warning: package procps-debuginfo = 2.0.17-10 was already added, replacing with procps-debuginfo <= 2.0.17-13
error: Failed dependencies:
glibc-devel = 2.3.2-95.3 is needed by (installed) nptl-devel-2.3.2-95.3
[root@localhost root]#

I'm not worried abouteh warnings it's the failed dependencies that's giving me the problem.
I think I under stand was it is saying but I don't how to fix it. I did a query on both packages and the both exits in the RPM database. Please view the following :

[root@localhost root]# rpm -q nptl-devel-2.3.2-95.3
nptl-devel-2.3.2-95.3
[root@localhost root]# rpm -q glibc-devel-2.3.2-95.3
glibc-devel-2.3.2-95.3

Can somone tell what's wrong?

Thanks for any help

Your best bet is to use a pckage manager such as apt or yum, it will save you from problems such as the one your are experiencing now. Anway it seems like you need a new version of nptl-devel that corresponds to it's binary, so that glibc-devel can be installed.
