Cant install rpm package due to dependencies
I am installing glibc. Problem is it has failed dependencies but the package it is looking for is installed.
Code:
# rpm -ihv glibc-2.5-118.el5_10.3.i686.rpm Any idea what is happening here? Another question is when I query package, I will need to append the version. Code:
# rpm -q libgcc |
You mention you're running x86_64 but what you're trying to install is i686 (32 bit).
The standard "rpm -qa" is not showing the architecture (i.e. x86_64 or i686 or i586 or i386). If you run "rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE} (%{ARCH})\n' |grep glibc-common" it will include the architecture of the installed package which will likely be (x86_64) e.g.: glibc-common-2.5-118.el5_10.3 (x86_64) The dependency of an i686 package would also be i686 so you'd need to find and install: glibc-common-2.5-118.el5_10.3 (i686). After that you query would show both architectures installed. Is there any reason you're not using yum to install the package? Yum is specifically written to identify and install dependencies. Also this is a very old version of glibc. |
for the very aging rhel5.11
use YUM!!!!!! to update to the current glibc for rhel5 in the rhn repo Code:

FYI: RHEL5 is going EOL in March so you might want to look at moving on to at least RHEL6 or if you can't pay for a subscription change to CentOS6 which is compiled from RHEL6 sources. P.S. Congratulations on escaping your captors. :D |
