This is an rpm problem; it can't see that the glibc update will remove the /usr/include/scsi symlink. Installing with --force should succeed and cause no errors. Following the above suggestion, I was able to install the packages, but I received many copies of another message: =====output listing===== # rpm -Fvh --force glibc-2.1.3-21.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.1.3-21.i386.rpm glibc-profile-2.1.3-21.i386.rpm nscd-2.1.3-21.i386.rpm glibc ################################################## package LC_MESSAGES not listed in file index package LC_MESSAGES not listed in file index package LC_MESSAGES not listed in file index [...repeated many times...] package LC_MESSAGES not listed in file index glibc-devel ################################################## glibc-profile ################################################## nscd ################################################## =====end of output listing===== The remaining messages have been in all of rpm-3.0.x and can be ignored. The "fix" is to remove the error message, and are part of the reason for changing to db-3.1.x with rpm-4.0. |
I have a PIII with RH 6.2; I tried to install the new update for glibc as reported on the Security Advisories page, and got the following (I've beautified the output a bit for readability): # rpm -Fvh glibc-2.1.3-21.i386.rpm \ glibc-devel-2.1.3-21.i386.rpm \ glibc-profile-2.1.3-21.i386.rpm \ nscd-2.1.3-21.i386.rpm file /usr/include/scsi/scsi.h from install of glibc-devel-2.1.3-21 \ conflicts with file from package kernel-headers-2.2.16-3 file /usr/include/scsi/scsi_ioctl.h from install of glibc-devel-2.1.3-21 \ conflicts with file from package kernel-headers-2.2.16-3 file /usr/include/scsi/sg.h from install of glibc-devel-2.1.3-21 \ conflicts with file from package kernel-headers-2.2.16-3 My system was upgraded from RH6.1 using the 6.2 CD, and all the other advisories/buxfixes/enhancements have been installed.
