So much for elrepo being a painless way to get working Nvidia drivers...
This isn't elrepo's fault.
The glibc update changes the location of the ldconfig binary. It's still in root's path, but anything that had a hardcoded path as a requirement will break.
Ummm, great... I thought that was just the sort of breakage that 'Enterprise' OS versions were supposed to avoid. (I realize it's not CentOS's fault either).
The original glibc package provides both /usr/sbin/ldconfig and /sbin/ldconfig, while the updated package only provides /sbin/ldconfig.
The whole 's' concept was a bad idea to begin with. Why did they have to make it worse?
Yum update (or just update glibc) says:
--> Processing Dependency: /usr/sbin/ldconfig for package: nvidia-x11-drv-304xx-304.123-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: nvidia-x11-drv-304xx-304.123-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 (@elrepo) Requires: /usr/sbin/ldconfig Removing: glibc-2.17-55.el7.x86_64 (@anaconda) Not found Updated By: glibc-2.17-55.el7_0.1.x86_64 (updates) Not found You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
What do those 'not found's mean?
It means there's no more /usr/sbin/ldconfig provided in the newer packages.
Seems odd to say it twice. But what's the right fix here?
