I'm having trouble upgrading the glibc libraries with RPM. I seem to be getting a "chicken and egg" scenario. Can anyone shed some light on the snippet below?

Thanks

[root@server rpm]# rpm -Uvh glibc-2.2.4-32.i686.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
glibc-common = 2.2.4-32 is needed by glibc-2.2.4-32
[root@server rpm]# rpm -Uvh glibc-common-2.2.4-32.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
glibc-common = 2.2.4-13 is needed by glibc-2.2.4-13
[root@server rpm]# rpm -Uvh glibc-common-2.2.4-13.i386.rpm

do the rpm update of the glibc-common first with the --nodeps parm

# rpm -Uvh glibc-common-2.2.4-32.i386.rpm --nodeps

this basically tells rpm to quit griping because you know what you're doing.

then run your rpm on the glibc

Yes, --nodeps is the trick. The command I usually use is:

rpm -ivvh --force --nodeps [packagename]*

You could have tried:
# rpm -Uvh ./glibc*.rpm
