Fedora failing to install glibc-headers

I am trying to install glibc-headers via yum, and it keeps failing:

Code:

error: %pre(glibc-headers-2.18-11.fc20.i686) scriptlet failed, exit status 127

Error in PREIN scriptlet in rpm package glibc-headers-2.18-11.fc20.i686

  Verifying  : glibc-headers-2.18-11.fc20.i686                              1/1 



Failed:

  glibc-headers.i686 0:2.18-11.fc20

I am using Fedora 20 with default repositories fully updated

Hi:

Try running-

Code:

yum clean all

Than proceed to install again.

In some cases it was a bug-
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=543250

Do you have libgcc?
Ensure that your not missing any libraries.

Hope that helps-;)

also are you REALLY installing the 32 bit " glibc-headers.i686"
the i686" means that it is the 32 bit version and not the 64 bit os version
-- both can be installed but different things use them

running this will install the 64 bit version

Code:

su -

yum install glibc-headers

this will install the 32 bit version

Code:

su -

yum install glibc-headers.i686

but installing the -devel rpm might be a bit better

Code:

su -

yum search glibc

------- then from the output ---

yum install glibc-devel
