Hi,
I've just done a fresh install of Centos 4.0 on a Via C3 Based system using the Centos DVD I downloaded a while ago.
Then install goes though fine as does running 'yum check-update'. However when running the actual 'yum update', it downloads all the headers but afterwards displays the following errors:-
--> Processing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.3.4-2 for package: glibc --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.3.4-2 is needed by package glibc
I've checked using 'rpm -q glibc-common' that the appropriate version is installed (The system wouldn't run otherwise would it?):-
[root@doc ~]# rpm -q glibc-common glibc-common-2.3.4-2
Has anyone else experienced this problem, I'm sure that I have been able to install Centos 4 on a Via system before, so does anyone know what (if anything) has changed with the recent versions of Glibc?
Thanks in advance for any assistance offered
Regards
Lee

Here you are:-
[root@doc RPMS]# rpm -q glibc glibc-2.3.4-2

Okay, all that stuff you snipped... we're going to have to see it.

Interesting. It looks like the mirror you're hitting doesn't have the glibc package. Pick another.

Hi,
I've tried a few different mirrors, some in the US, some in Canada and also 2 in the UK all of them end in the same error. I also tried hard coding the releasever to 4.2 in case the files are missing out of the specific repo of 4.0.

I'm guessing it's a bit more than that. I'm guessing it's an arch mismatch.
please add the following line to root's .rpmmacros %_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch}
then rpm -q glibc
then do 'yum list glibc'
yum by default has exactarch matching enabled. my guess is that the arch on your system doesn't match the updated arch on the mirrors.

Hi Jim,
It seems you are right:-
Installed Packages glibc.i586 2.3.4-2 installed Available Packages glibc.i386 2.3.4-2.13 base
Is there a solution, or do I just have to wait until another updated package is provided?
Cheers

You'll need to manually update the package with either the i386 or the i686 one. I don't think the upstream vendor's glibc package builds on i586 anymore.

Oh well, I'm trying an update with exactarch=0 to see if that works. Failing that I'll download the updated 4.2 ISO's and install from that.
If what you say is true, it is just another reason for me to be annoyed with Red Hat at the moment.
Cheers

Be careful with that. It may affect more than just glibc. If you're going to do update with exactarch=0, do 'yum install glibc' or something similar to avoid pulling in ALL other affected rpms.

Be careful with that. It may affect more than just glibc. If you're going to do update with exactarch=0, do 'yum install glibc' or something similar to avoid pulling in ALL other affected rpms.

It's not a live system, so if ends up broken I'm not bothered.
Seeing as it seems that just the i386 arch is availabe, would it not be best to change all other packages to be i386 as well (which I figured doing yum update would do) to avoid this problem in the future if another package is updated?

This may cause issues. You should check the different arches of packages that are on your system. A quick check would be to run the following
rpm -aq --qf "%{arch}\n" | sort | uniq -c
This will query every package installed on the system, list only their arch value, sort it, and count unique values.
for a quick rundown of the various packages by name with their arch, do
rpm -aq --qf "%{arch}-%{name}\n" | grep i386 (or i686, whatever). Some important packages may be of a different arch, like the kernel, openssl, etc.It's worth checking out.

Lee,
You will want to just upgrade the glibc to i386 (it is really i486, but that is another story).
All the other items that are i586 are OK, and should remain so. And you want to keep them.
If the glibc wasn't really i486 (which is a little more stable than i586 and as fast) then we would have modified the code to build the i586.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes

I've showed my problem before (yum crashed and packages are duplicated) but now I see that the same thing happened here:
$ rpm -qa --qf "%{name}-%{arch}\n" | grep glibc | sort | uniq -c 2 glibc-common-x86_64 2 glibc-i686 2 glibc-x86_64
The bad news it that's a live system but it's working fine for now. I didn't have time to try to fix that yet. It's an Athlon64 processor and I've exactarch=1.

Which is fine.... being a MultiLib arch, expect to have 32bit and 64bit pkgs installed in order to satisfy depends for 32bit apps and 64bit apps ( which will co-exist fine )

Yes, but not 2 per arch.

Thanks for all the helpful replies.
I ended up installing again from the latest ISOS download last night which has gone though fine.
Not having used Centos or RHEL much, is this something that happens open (i.e. package architectures just being removed)?
Thanks again
