At anyrate, right now what you need is a way to get your old stuff back to some sort of sane state. What I would do is use rpm2cpio from the root directory to extract the files from the old zlib package (rpm2cpio zlib*.rpm | cpio -idv). Now you should be able to use rpm again (provided this was the real problem. At which point you can try the oldpackage install again. Your db may be corrupt depending on where rpm died, if that is the case you will need to rebuild your db. If you want to get to the bottom of this save the core file and maybe file a bugzilla report attaching a backtrace from the core file. > 2)why rpm accepted to update zlib WITHOUT checking for glibc.2.3.4? > Thanks Don't know.
