Anybody can enlight me on this? The error is telling you that the old version of glibc-common is needed by the installed package "glibc-2.3.2-4.80.6". It's telling you that it can't upgrade the package because another package on the system depends on that exact version. To handle this correctly, you'll need to get the updated glibc that matches the updated glibc-common (as well as the -devel if you have that as well), and upgrade them all in one command. rpm -Uvh glibc-common-2.3.2-4.80.8.i386.rpm glibc-2.3.2-4.80.8.i386.rpm rpm can take multiple packages as arguments and will sort them out as necessary. -- Jesse Keating RHCE MCSE (geek.j2solutions.net) Fedora Legacy Team (www.fedora.us/wiki/FedoraLegacy) Mondo DevTeam (www.mondorescue.org) GPG Public Key (geek.j2solutions.net/jkeating.j2solutions.pub) Was I helpful?
