Yes, I'm wrong, sorry, these warnings appear when I'm trying to 'rpm -i ..'
Is this normal?


They're nothing to be worried about then.  Here's briefly what's going on.
You are attempting to install a couple of packages.  RPM looks at the first
one and finds out that it requires glibc-2.3.2 in order to function, so RPM
adds "glibc = 2.3.2" to it's dependency stack.  Then another package comes
along which only requires "glibc <= 2"  Since this is a more general
requirement, but isn't in conflict with the first glibc requirement, RPM
replaces the "glibc = 2.3.2" requirement with "glibc <= 2" and prints out a
message that the change has been made.




Uhm, I think you missed the unfortunate linewrap in the OP. RPM is reporting:

warning: package glibc = 2.3.2-101 was already added, replacing with
glibc <= 2.3.2-101

My guess is the OP is trying to install the 2.3.2-101 glibc RPM when in
fact it's allready installed.


For your future installs though, it's a lot better to update packages
instead of using -i for installing. This way older packages will be
replaced with new ones, you'll get an error if you try upgrading to a
package that's allready there, and packages that are not in your
installation at all will be installed as if rpm -i was used.

The command 'rpm -Uvh <your packages>' will give you some nice output
wrt. what's going on.
