Have installed RH7 recently and finally got to updating glibc. Since
I'm on a P3 I grabbed glibc-2.2-12.i686.rpm. When I run rpm -Uvh
OR rpm -Fvh on it, I get this error:
error: failed dependencies:
glibc-common = 2.2 is needed by glibc-2.2-12
/usr/bin/getent is needed by stunnel-3.8-4
This surprised me because on Red Hat's site the only file listed as
needed for i686 was the one I grabbed. Anyway, I went back and got
glibc-common-2.2-12.i386.rpm and tried to install it. Running rpm -ivh
or rpm iUvh gives me:
error: failed dependencies:
glibc < 2.2-12 conflicts with glibc-common-2.2.12.
It seems that this is telling me that in order to install
glibc-common-2.2-12 I would need to **uninstall** the older version of
glibc present. I was about to do this, but then realized that this is
something that could possibly hose me pretty badly. So, I decided to
seek advice from this forum before proceeding. If I uninstall glibc and
am not able to replace it nothing would run (including the kernel..?).
Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide me with clear instructions
on exactly how to go about this.
