I am trying to update x86_64 from 5.2 to 5.4

I am trying to update glibc first (before yum -y upgrade) with the command yum update glibc glib-devel glibc-headers gives me the following:

package glibc-devel needs glibc-headers = 2.5-24.el5._2.2 this, is not available package glibc-devel needs glibc = 2.5-24.el5._2.2, this is not available.

am I missing something? usually this works fine.

Looks like a typo to me, "glib-devel" should presumably be glibc-devel.

Probably easier to just do:

yum update glibc*
