Comment 1 Ulrich Drepper 2003-11-04 20:52:06 UTC
What updates?  I bet you have a machine where RHL9 installs the i686
glibc and you force the i386 version on top of it.  This mustn't
happen and would be entirely your fault.  So, which files were involved?

Comment 2 Homer Parker 2003-11-05 08:07:56 UTC
Your right.. I goofed.. I just can't understand how if there's arch
specific updates, the updates not for the arch will install :( I
didn't force anything.. rpm -Fvh is all it took.. Thanks for the help..
