Seeing upstream has an update for glibc http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2009-0052.html I rebuilt the glibc-2.3.4-2.41.el4_7.1.src.rpm and it produced the following rpms :-

glibc-2.3.4-2.41.el4_7.1.i386.rpm glibc-common-2.3.4-2.41.el4_7.1.i386.rpm glibc-debuginfo-2.3.4-2.41.el4_7.1.i386.rpm glibc-debuginfo-common-2.3.4-2.41.el4_7.1.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.3.4-2.41.el4_7.1.i386.rpm glibc-headers-2.3.4-2.41.el4_7.1.i386.rpm glibc-profile-2.3.4-2.41.el4_7.1.i386.rpm glibc-utils-2.3.4-2.41.el4_7.1.i386.rpm nptl-devel-2.3.4-2.41.el4_7.1.i386.rpm nscd-2.3.4-2.41.el4_7.1.i386.rpm

Is it okay to install all of them or should i skip the debuginfo rpms? Is an official CentOS update going to be made of the glibc from Red Hat?

If those were released with or after RHEL 5.3, then they will come out with or after CentOS 5.3. Soon to be released to a mirror near you!

Those packages will eventually appear in CentOS mirrors (except they are for CentOS-4, not -5). :-D

That is what I get for working on a server and answering mail at the same time! Is it Friday yet? ;-P

The bug fixes (marked RHBA) may not get a high priority as security fixes (marked RHSA) do. So, they may lag a bit when the developers are tied up with more urgent tasks.

You can see what you current have on your system by:

rpm -qa glibc* nptl* nscd

That will give you a hint as to which packages you want to update.
