I am unable to update some packages on my Redhat 9 server. I will be using rpm to install all updates on this server. I received the following errors:
rpm -Uvh *rpm warning: glibc-2.3.2-27.9.i686.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID db42a60e error: Failed dependencies: glibc-devel = 2.3.2-11.9 is needed by (installed) nptl-devel-2.3.2-11.9
It's telling you that the nptl-devel is dependent on your glibc - so you must either remove nptl-devel, or upgrade it as well as glibc.
If you have nscd installed, same advice applies -
Of course, if you just pay the $5 per month for rhn, you can let the system work and not worry about all the dependencies.
