I tried your suggestion and it did not work. see below.


yum install glibc-2.3.4-2.25.i386

Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Parsing package install arguments
No Match for argument: glibc-2.3.4-2.25.i386
Nothing to do


also listing present glibs packages gives:

rpm -qa | grep glibc
glibc-devel-2.3.4-2.25
glibc-kernheaders-2.4-9.1.98.EL
glibc-2.3.4-2.25
glibc-common-2.3.4-2.25
glibc-2.3.4-2.25
glibc-headers-2.3.4-2.25
