Anyway, you need to also upgrade glibc. use: rpm -Uvh glibc-common-2.3.2-101.1.i386.rpm glibc-2.3.2-101.1.i386.rpm That may resolve things, if not, if rpmdb is installed, rpm will act more friendly with the output (and add new command line args). -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
