This morning I was showing a co-worker how to upgrade glibc. And he found that yum wouldn't give him glibc-common-2.5-123.el5_11.1.i386.rpm.

So I browsed to the web interface of one of the centos5 mirrors, and couldn't find it either. Not in the x86_64 tree anyway.

It's in the updates tree for i386: eg http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5/updates/i386/RPMS/glibc-common-2.5-123.e...

There's no i386 version in the x86_64 tree because it doesn't have any librarie, just binaries (eg /usr/bin/getent) and non-architecture files (eg locale, defaults).

(Basically, don't install this on a 64bit machine!!)
