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

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
