Oddly enough, I had a similar problem on an smp development box running Rawhide (beta) when I tried to upgrade to the new and improved glibc set. Lots of "I can only do PRIVATE_DB" type messages, rpm only worked from user accounts (not root) and no ability to reverse the glibc change.
I ended up putting an old 7.3 install CD in yon CD slot and using the rescue mode to do an overwrite of the previous glibc rpm set. All common sense said that that should not have worked, but it did so, and in the process rescued my Christmas. You might try to see if this works for you. regards, ben P.S. As long as I am writing to the list, has anyone else had problems getting the gcc pseudoassembler (asm) to consistently handle dword division ?? -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
