[Upgrading things like glibc make me nervous. :-(] I downloaded all of the new glibc rpms and said: rpm -Uvh glibc* It said Preparing 100% Then is said glibc-common 100% Then glibc 100% Then it said restarting init. Then it just hung. I killed it with a -9 and tried to see what I had. It said that I could not run the rpm -qa command because of a missing libpthread.so I then ran rpm -Uvh --force glibc* and it ran through the whole thing but it still froze on the end of the last package. Now if I run 512 > rpm -qa | grep glibc glibc-utils-2.3.2-4.80 glibc-debug-2.3.2-4.80 glibc-common-2.3.2-4.80 glibc-devel-2.2.93-5 glibc-debug-static-2.3.2-4.80 glibc-kernheaders-2.4-7.20 glibc-2.3.2-4.80 glibc-devel-2.3.2-4.80 glibc-profile-2.3.2-4.80 513 > rpm -qa | grep glibc It looks like I have two copies of glibc-devel. Am I screwed? Can this be fixed? Does it need to be fixed? Is this Red Hat's fault? Should people not upgrade to the new glibc? Am I asking too many questions? TIA -- -Time flies like the wind.
