Hi Admins, Fedora Core 4 I am stuck in a vicious circle trying to update libxml2. My installed version is 2.6.20 which I understand is broken and I need version 2.6.27. I have tried to use yum to update the package (and it's dependencies). >yum search libxml2 libxml2.i386 2.6.20-1.FC4 updates-released libxml2.i386 2.6.20-1.FC4 installed I figure from the output that I already have the latest version available from my mirror site installed. At this point I thought I'd tried to install the 2.6.27 rpm manually but there are dependency failures: error: Failed dependencies: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4) is needed by libxml2-2.6.27-1.i386 rtld(GNU_HASH) is needed by libxml2-2.6.27-1.i386 libxml2 = 2.6.20 is needed by (installed) libxml2-python- 2.6.20-1.FC4.i386 libxml2 = 2.6.20 is needed by (installed) libxml2-devel- 2.6.20-1.FC4.i386 I am using glibc.i686 2.3.6-3. I am very nervous about trying to update glibc, especially as there doesn't seem to be a version available to yum so it could take care of the dependency. Does anyone have any ideas about how to proceed? I know FC5 has glibc 2.4.11+ and libxml 2.6.23 but I really want to avoid a complete OS upgrade.
