Hi,
(Posting on this list instead of a RHEL list as even though strictly speaking this is a RHEL issue I expect CentOS developers to be familiar with the problem I'm running into.)
I am trying to build the RHEL 6 sources on top of RHEL 6 beta on an AMD x86_64. I thought I start by updating glibc to the current version before continuing with building gcc. The build of gcc requires both x86_64 and i686 versions of glibc to be available. So I built the x86_64 version with a plain rpmbuild. For the i686 I used mock.
Now when I try to update both glibc's I get conflicts between the configuration and documentation files of both rpms. That issue does not exist with the original rpms, I can install both versions without running into conflicts.
Is there a way around this conflict without forcing the upgrade? How come the original rpms don't have this conflict? Is it just a matter of the dates on those files being different, and if so, how would I build the rpms for both archs in one run so the dates do not conflict?
Any thoughts, pointers and elaboration on the subject is welcome.
Regards, Leonard.
