THnxs but... i did rpm -e --justdb glibc i did rpm -e --justdb glibc-common and then rpm -Uvh *.rpm from a folder with these only older 2 rpm's I got the following message: package glibc-2.3.2-27.9.7 (which is newer than glibc-2.2.5-34) is already installed
and similiar about glibc-common
So I did not succeed installing the old rpms (glibc-2.2.5-34,glibc-common-2.2.5-34)
I want to add that both i did rpm -e --justdb glibc i did rpm -e --justdb glibc-common gave dependencied error messages.
IS THERE A WAY OUT ?
regards john

=>Hello,

=>Now , I need glib-devel for development needs:

Oo! Oo! (said Tooty to Muldoon)
I'm gonna take a stab at this one, even though I'm not qualified. (If I get it right this will increase my confidence and make me more dangerous.)
rpm -e --justdb stuffgoeshere
will get rid of the entry(s) from the rpm database. That will allow you to start with a fresh shot at using -Uvh.
