Specificity usually is more helpful than generality. What are the errors?
It matters.
I'll make a guess that it's something about conflicting with one or more
files from glibc when trying to upgrade the rpm. There are 4 possible
ways to solve it. One or more may not work. One surely will but, it's
usually a last resort. Choices in the best order:
1. Try 'rpm -Uvh --nodeps glibc*' then upgrade rpm.
2. Place the rpm and glibc upgrades in a directory by themselves. Then
try 'rpm -Uvh *' and see if it works. Most of the time this solves it for
me.
3. Upgrade the rpm first: 'rpm -Uvh rpm-* --replacefiles' should
overwrite conflicting files. Then upgrade glibc.
4. 'rpm -Uvh --force glibc-*' followed by an upgrade of the rpm. Or even
reverse order of them.
If none of the above addresses the real errors you get, how about naming
them and see what kinds of help that brings.
