I need to upgrade my glibc package to 2.2.4 for an installation of another package.

However, after downloading glibc, common and development I attempted to use rpm to install each one and each one gave me a dependency error.

Each one says it needs the others in version 2.2.4 or greater, however if I can't install any of them how am I supposed to provide that dependency?


# rpm -i glibc-2.2.4-19.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
glibc-common = 2.2.4-19 is needed by glibc-2.2.4-19
glibc-devel < 2.2.3 conflicts with glibc-2.2.4-19
glibc > 2.2.2 conflicts with glibc-common-2.2.2-10
# rpm -i glibc-common-2.2.4-19.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
glibc < 2.2.4 conflicts with glibc-common-2.2.4-19
# rpm -i glibc-devel-2.2.4-19.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
glibc = 2.2.4 is needed by glibc-devel-2.2.4-19

Any suggestions?

BTW, --nodeps just spews out a bunch of lines containing files and install conflicts with 2.2.2.

Nevermind. I did a rpm -Uvh and all three package names on the same line and it worked.
