Indeed, most of the packages had missing files.  I've downloaded all the

 None of the affected packages have an athlon specific version, but
glibc and openssl have both i686 and i386 packages.  Should I install
from the i686 packages?


You can check the versions installed by running
rpm -q openssl --qf "%{ARCH}\n"
For an athlon, I would expect you to be using the i686 packages. But you
definitely don't want to upgrade an i686 glibc package to an i386 one,
because an oversight in the packaging is likely to leave you with an
unusable system.

Thanks again Michael. It was indeed i686. Everything looks correct now thanks to your help.
