For 5.x to 5.3, you must:

# yum update glibc

# yum update

You need to update glibc first  (upstream bug I believe).

if this is so, is there a link to this on upstream website that  

someone

already has booked?

please share

- rh

I found out about that on this list, and it has surfaced on other mail  
lists I am on where the products are centos based.

I don't have the exact link.

From one of the other lists I am on:

indeed, that is the number 1 item from the release notes.


  4. Known Issues

When updating from 5.2 to 5.3 you can run into a problem with rpm: "rpmdb: unable to lock mutex: Invalid argument". To avoid this please update glibc before updating the rest of the installation: yum update glibc && yum update

and for kick-starters (new installs)

There is a major anaconda issue when using kickstart. With 5.3 you cannot set the time zone in the kickstart file. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=481617 for the bug report. There is a workaround at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-15687
