Installing glibc rpm

In fact, glibc-common is a dependency for "glibc" package. Simply run the command "rpm -q glibc" and post the details here. Also, please format your reply so that it would look nice.. The rpm database query rpm -q shows that the software package rpm content is already installed. Comments Posted In Other. Dears i'm trying to install the glibc package but i'm facing this message" does not update installed package.

Error: Nothing to do" can you support me Best Regards Ilyasse. You will want to script that. You will give up with in 20 libraries. If you google steam and CentOS 6 you will find plenty of people who have update glibc to a newer version with zero ramifications.

Those people are tempting sirens luring you to the rocks. I would have to upgrade about 80 desktops, a couple of dozen VMs, and a handful of servers. I realize the dependency hell a newer version of glib would cause, but I want to at least try it. Forget I ever said I wanted to replace glibc. For example I am trying to install glibc-devel here but the installation fails with Failed dependencies error. As it expected glibc-headers to be installed before installing glibc-devel on this Linux host.

Similarly while trying to remove another rpm I get similar error with failed dependencies, but we will discuss the removal part at the end of this article. Now with the provided error on screen, it is not sure that this is the only dependency rpm which may be required for glibc-devel.

If you are lucky enough your rpm may get installed with only few dependencies but it is also possible that you end up downloading and installing tons of rpms as a dependency. This only frustrate you and eat up your time. To avoid this you must create a local repo and install the primary and dependency rpms using yum.

So the first thing we have to do is to get the list of dependency rpms for glibc-devel here. I have written another article with the steps to automatically locate and download all the dependency rpms. Now if you do not have a node with active internet connection and baseline repository then you can also get the list of dependency rpms offline. For the sake of this article I have used repoquery command as it gives a very clear output with the rpm name and this can be used offline as well.

Since I don't have a createrepo rpm installed, I will install it via yum. Once you have downloaded all the rpms, next create a repo using createrepo rpm. Our repo is created successfully. If I choose the default packages during installation, then it doesn't install the 32bit packages. Moreoever, I am doing automatic installation via kickstart. When you call these packages out during kickstart you just have to explicitly name them.

You can't just say glibc, for example, you have to specify it like this: "glibc Uh I got what you are trying to say. You are trying to say to mention glibc. Great, I think your solution might work. I would try that. Thanks — user Sign up or log in Sign up using Google. Sign up using Facebook. Sign up using Email and Password.
