Hi all!
My problem is very simple but stupid
I tried to upgrade RPM but there was rpmlib(PartialHardLinkSets) dependency that i cannot find a solution for. I decided to install newest rpm version with --nodeps flag. And here is my problem - this rpm version (4.2-1) needs libc.so.6 library from glibc 2.2.3 version. But i have glibc version 2.2.93-5 installed. I can't install never version because of the error with library:

rpm: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3.2' not found (required by /usr/lib/librpmdb-4.2.so)

i can't compile glibc 2.3.2 because i don't have gcc installed :/

what shall i do?
i cannot install any new software because of rpm error and no gcc compiler installed

please help me!
thanx a lot

That's why you shouldn't have forced the install of your installer.
Try forcing rpm's removal, then upgrade to the version of gcc which rpm depends on, and then install once you've satisfied the dependencies next time.

Ok Proud,

so I avoid forcing rpm. But what is rpmlib(PartialHardlinkSets)? Unlike other packages, rpm -q won't tell me about it. And how do I get it?

rpmlib(PartialHardlinkSets) <= 4.0.4-1 is needed by all of
gcc-3.3-14, glibc-common-2.3.2-57, gcc-3.2-7

rpmlib(PartialHardlinkSets) means rpm. And the "<=" is misleading; rpm 4.0.3 won't do. What the line is saying is, you have to get rpm 4.0.4. I don't know if "at least" or "exactly", but it's NOT "at most" as the line states.
