I have a new SL/RHEL6 installation, and yum is refusing to install gcc
on it. As far as I can make out, a security update that I applied prior
to my attempt to install gcc has caused problems. Any advice on this
would be gratefully appreciated. Full story below.
I did a new SL6 install (x86_86) a couple of weeks ago. This was a
minimal installation, and I didn't install any dev tools, as I intended
to install them later from yum.
Since then, I've done very little; I installed a few packages (samba,
xemacs, etc), and I let the system update itself. The update installed
'kernel', and updated 'kernel-firmware' (see this advisory:
http://lwn.net/Alerts/436999/).
I now need to install the dev tools (g++, and so on), but I can't. I've
tried this from gpk-application, and directly from yum. The complete yum
output is below, but the basic error is:
Error: Package: glibc-2.12-1.7.el6.i686 (sl)
Requires: glibc-common = 2.12-1.7.el6
Installed: glibc-common-2.12-1.7.el6_0.5.x86_64 (@sl-security)
glibc-common = 2.12-1.7.el6_0.5
Available: glibc-common-2.12-1.7.el6.x86_64 (sl)
glibc-common = 2.12-1.7.el6
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The security update installed glibc-common-2.12-1.7.el6_0.5.x86_64, but
it looks like yum can't cope with the name change. Am I right? Is there
anything I can do about this?
Thanks -
Paul
