From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1 Description of problem: The server is a HP ml530 proliant. My original kernel was 2.4.18-14 I used the redhat network update agent to install all new errata (some 97 components). Finally I installed the new 2.4.20-28.8 kernel. Here is the problem. I've tried to install the kernel-2.4.20-28.8.src.rpm and also the Kernel development kit in the Packages utility in redhat. The kernel-2.4.20-28.8.src.rpm won't install because it complains that glibc 2.2.93 is not present. I have glibc-2.3.2-4.80.8 installed, a newer version. I've tried to rpm -ivh --force kernel-2.4.20-28.8. I tried to uninstall glibc but it wont let me. I've tried to rpm -ivh --force and --oldversion the older glibc-2.2.93-5 and I get: "error: glibc-2.2.93-5.i686.rpm: V3 DSA signature: BAD, key ID db42a60e error: glibc-2.2.93-5.i686.rpm cannot be installed" Now when I try to install the kernel development kit in the packages utility (which i assume gives me the original 2.4.18-14 kernel source) it complains that glibc, openssl, openldap, cyrus and krb5-lib are all not present. Which is not true, they are all also newere versions than what the rpm install is looking for. Finally I decided to extract the kernel source out of the rpm myself and place it in the /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-28.8 using rpm2cpio. I extracted all the files fine as can be but the proliant support utility then switched over to complaining about not finding library files in reference to the new kernel source. I don't desire to nit pick through files forever, the kernel source rpm should be all I need to install. Any help on how I do this would be greatly appreciated. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.20-28.8.src.rpm How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.upgrade out of box redhat 8.0 (without kernel source kit) to all new rhn suggested packeges 2.try to install kerenel source 3.try to uninstall packages that are "too new" for the kernel source rpm to accept and install older packages it requires Actual Results: unlocatable package: glibc = 2.2.93 required by: glibc-devel Expected Results: Install kernel-source since glibc is simply newer not missing.
