From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021202 Description of problem: I am running with RedHat 8.0 with selected rawhide updates - and this wednsday I upgraded glibc and binutils from rawhide. After that RPM stops after "Preparing..." has reached 100% with the following error: cannot handle file 'libc.so.6' with TLS data Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.rpm -Fvh glibc-2.3.1-41.i686.rpm Actual Results: Preparing... ########################################### [100%] cannot handle file 'libc.so.6' with TLS data Expected Results: get my rpm's installed Additional info: glibc-2.3.1-40 RedHat 8.0 with upgrades to rawhide of gcc,binutils,glibc,kde,xfree.
I suspect this is the first attempt to use rpm since you upgraded from the 8.0 glibc, and your problem is that rpm isn't new enough.
You need to upgrade at least all statically linked applications which use NSS or iconv (ie. dlopen shared libraries).
Thanks for the help! Isen't that a bug with regard to some dependency? Do you have an idea on how to: 1. identify which applications that is? except from rpm 2. how to upgrade them when rpm does not work? Best regards, Kim
You could have dug yourself into a hole it is not easy to escape from! Setting the environment variable LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 is worth a try; it turns off TLS in some cases, though I don't know if it will work in this one. Otherwise you could boot off your CD in rescue mode; run linux rescue at the boot prompt, and install the necessary packages that way, though the simplest way is probably to download the phoebe beta CDs, and upgrade completely to the beta.
