I am in the process of upgrading my desktop from F7 to F8. 'yum update' fails, so I'm trying it step-by-step. I use yum-3.2.7 from F8, most of the system is still F7 yet. Here's what happens when I issue 'yum upgrade glibc': [kir@dhcp0-6 ~]$ sudo yum upgrade glibc Setting up Upgrade Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package glibc.x86_64 0:2.7-2 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.7-2 for package: glibc --> Processing Dependency: glibc = 2.6-4 for package: glibc-devel --> Processing Dependency: glibc = 2.6-4 for package: glibc-headers --> Processing Dependency: glibc = 2.6-4 for package: glibc-devel --> Processing Dependency: glibc = 2.6-4 for package: glibc-devel ---> Package glibc.i686 0:2.7-2 set to be updated --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: glibc-headers = 2.6-4 for package: glibc-devel ---> Package glibc-devel.x86_64 0:2.7-2 set to be updated ---> Package glibc-common.x86_64 0:2.7-2 set to be updated ---> Package glibc-headers.x86_64 0:2.7-2 set to be updated --> Running transaction check --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================= Updating: glibc x86_64 2.7-2 fedora 4.8 M glibc i686 2.7-2 fedora 5.4 M Updating for dependencies: glibc-common x86_64 2.7-2 fedora 21 M glibc-devel x86_64 2.7-2 fedora 2.4 M glibc-headers x86_64 2.7-2 fedora 599 k Transaction Summary ============================================================================= Install 0 Package(s) Update 5 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 34 M Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: Running rpm_check_debug ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve: Package glibc-devel needs glibc = 2.6-4, this is not available.

See -- the problem is there are two arches for glibc-devel installed, and somehow yum can't understand that both needs to be upgraded. If I specify upgrade of glibc-devel explicitly, it works fine: [kir@dhcp0-6 ~]$ sudo yum upgrade glibc glibc-common glibc-devel glibc-headers Setting up Upgrade Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package glibc.i686 0:2.7-2 set to be updated ---> Package glibc-devel.x86_64 0:2.7-2 set to be updated ---> Package glibc.x86_64 0:2.7-2 set to be updated ---> Package glibc-devel.i386 0:2.7-2 set to be updated ---> Package glibc-headers.x86_64 0:2.7-2 set to be updated ---> Package glibc-common.x86_64 0:2.7-2 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ============================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================= Updating: glibc i686 2.7-2 fedora 5.4 M glibc x86_64 2.7-2 fedora 4.8 M glibc-common x86_64 2.7-2 fedora 21 M glibc-devel x86_64 2.7-2 fedora 2.4 M glibc-devel i386 2.7-2 fedora 2.0 M glibc-headers x86_64 2.7-2 fedora 599 k Transaction Summary ============================================================================= Install 0 Package(s) Update 6 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 36 M Is this ok [y/N]: y Downloading Packages: Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Updating : glibc-common ####################### [ 1/12] Updating : glibc ####################### [ 2/12] Updating : glibc ####################### [ 3/12] Updating : glibc-headers ####################### [ 4/12] Updating : glibc-devel ####################### [ 5/12] Updating : glibc-devel ####################### [ 6/12] Cleanup : glibc ####################### [ 7/12] Cleanup : glibc-devel ####################### [ 8/12] Cleanup : glibc ####################### [ 9/12] Cleanup : glibc-devel ####################### [10/12] Cleanup : glibc-headers ####################### [11/12] Cleanup : glibc-common ####################### [12/12] Updated: glibc.i686 0:2.7-2 glibc.x86_64 0:2.7-2 glibc-common.x86_64 0:2.7-2 glibc-devel.x86_64 0:2.7-2 glibc-devel.i386 0:2.7-2 glibc-headers.x86_64 0:2.7-2 Complete!
