From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020826 Description of problem: after applying the latest XFree rpms I get the following error: X: relocation error: X: symbol __ctype_b_loc, version GLIBC_2.3 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): XFree86-4.2.0-71 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run up2date on Redhat-null-beta 2.Log out of X 3.Gdm fails to restart, try console login, startx, see error message Actual Results: X fails to start, error message looks like dynamic link error with libc.so Expected Results: X should restart after logout and Gdm greeter screen should appear.

Falling back to XFree86-libs-4.2.0-67.6.i386.rpm fixed the problem for me. xemacs and other applications (like up2date) wouldn't start with XFree86-libs-4.2.0-71. Something a little fishy in that version....
The actual fix (as seen on limbo-list) is glibc 2.2.93-2 (now on up2date).
This was actually as barryn says a glibc update requirement issue. If you upgrade glibc to the 2.2.93-2 version does X work properly?
Confirmed as glibc update. Closing as fixed in RAWHIDE.
