Fedora Users — Re: Urgent need Help with glibc

Hi,

I´ve tried to solve my problem as follows: - mounting the corrupted system per nfs (/ -> /mnt) from another rh8 system. - try to downgrade the rpm´s with rpm --root /mnt --upgrade --force --nodeps -vv *.rpm unfortunately rpm seems to hang afer a while. see output below.

any help?

regards,
Michael

Hi,

I have a big problem with a RH8 Server.
I installed fedora glibc rpm on a redhat 8.0 by mistake.
And now it is impossible to start rpm updates anymore.
rpm exits with segmentation fault.

unfortunally I have no access to the console of the server (it is in a data center far away). I have to make all installations at runlevel 3.

I changed the following rpms:
glibc-2.2.93-5.i686.rpm               to glibc-2.3.2-101.i686.rpm
glibc-common-2.2.93-5.i386.rpm        to glibc-common-2.3.2-101.i386.rpm
glibc-devel-2.2.93-5.i386.rpm         to glibc-devel-2.3.2-101.i386.rpm
memprof-0.5.0-2.i386.rpm              to memprof-0.5.1-3.i386.rpm
binutils-2.13.90.0.2-2.i386.rpm       to binutils-2.14.90.0.6-3.i386.rpm
new:  tzdata-2003d-1.noarch.rpm
