[Etherboot-developers] RH7 glibc update

[Marty C. <md...@th...>]

So I'm about this '' close to chucking RH7 and using another distribution 
to demo at LinuxWorld Expo.

I just installed a virgin copy of RH7 on a machine and started to apply 
all the package updates, and it now tells me that it can't update glibc 
because I don't have the correct previous version.  I've tried --force 
and other flags, but it won't do the upgrade.

I suspect that the version on the RH7 CD is too old to upgrade to the one 
they have on their FTP site, but the intermediate versions were buggy so 
they seem to have deleted them from their web site.

Has anyone else seen this?  Progeny (www.progeny.com) is looking might 
good about now...

Thanks,

Marty

Far as I know there was only one release of RH7, I s'pose there could be 
a SP1 or some such, but that's just silly.
Anyway, rpm -Uhv --force --nodeps <rpm> will install every RPM I've come 
across. let me know how that works.
