Why does RPM > still complain about it? RPM doesn't look for the files themselves but rather checks its own database to see if you've installed the needed package.

By the way, you're right that you'll need glibc-common as well. To make it a bit easier on yourself remove any of the packages you don't use (if any) rather than upgrading them: rpm -e <package name> Once you've downloaded all the rpms you need into a single directory (or from CD) you can list them all on the rpm command line: rpm -Uvh <package1> <package2> .... <packageN> or as long as you're in a directory with just the rpms you actually need: rpm -Uvh *.rpm There are tools like "up2date" and "apt" which resolve all of these dependencies for you but other people on the list would be better help with those tools than me.
