I've worked around this manually on x86_64: # rpm -e --nodeps glibc-2.9.90-3.i386 # yum install glibc.i586 # yum update Now installed: # rpm -qa | grep glibc glibc-2.9.90-7.i586 glibc-headers-2.9.90-7.x86_64 glibc-common-2.9.90-7.x86_64 glibc-devel-2.9.90-7.x86_64 glibc-2.9.90-7.x86_64 Not sure if this is the recommended solution.
Same kind of problem with i386 & Fedora Rawhide: [root@test ~]# yum update Loaded plugins: dellsysidplugin2, refresh-packagekit Setting up Update Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.9.90-2 for package: glibc ---> Package glibc-common.i586 0:2.9.90-7 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: glibc = 2.9.90-7 for package: glibc-common --> Running transaction check ---> Package glibc.i686 0:2.9.90-7 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.9.90-2 for package: glibc --> Finished Dependency Resolution glibc-2.9.90-2.i386 from installed has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.9.90-2 is needed by package glibc-2.9.90-2.i386 (installed) Error: Missing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.9.90-2 is needed by package glibc-2.9.90-2.i386 (installed)
Here's how I worked around the problem. yumdownloader glibc.i586 glibc-common.i586 rpm -Uvh glibc* The first command downloads the glibc rpm's to the local directory. The second command updates the glibc version. Trying to do an rpm -i glibc* will result in conflicts. Doing an update seems to work. Afterwards I did yum -y update and all the packages updated without problems
I executed the workaround from pgaltieri (comment #4) and it is ok. Thanks!
can you still test this and test the solution in comment: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=488224#c4
nevermind. This bug is a result of glibc being one of the 'exactarchlist' packages. rawhide will soon have a package to fix this problem or you can edit your yum.conf and under [main] put: exactarchlist = kernel and it will work. closing as upstream
