Hello,

I don't understand why it is looking for 2.5-42 as there is 2.5-49 in the repo.

Thanks for your help.

Hello,
The odds are that you have more than one glibc-devel (or some other glibc package) installed, and I mean more than one per arch.

Do an

  rpm -qa | grep glibc | sort


       I have 2.5-49 installed so I wonder why it wants 2.5-42

       compat-glibc-2.3.4-2.26.i386
       compat-glibc-2.3.4-2.26.x86_64
       compat-glibc-headers-2.3.4-2.26.x86_64
       glibc-2.5-49.i686
       glibc-2.5-49.x86_64
       glibc-common-2.5-49.x86_64
       glibc-devel-2.5-49.x86_64
       glibc-headers-2.5-49.x86_64
on a 5.4 machine I could install glibc-devel

       compat-glibc-2.3.4-2.26.i386
       compat-glibc-2.3.4-2.26.x86_64
       compat-glibc-headers-2.3.4-2.26.x86_64
       glibc-2.5-42.i686
       glibc-2.5-42.x86_64
       glibc-common-2.5-42.x86_64
       glibc-devel-2.5-42.i386              <=== @@
       glibc-devel-2.5-42.x86_64
       glibc-headers-2.5-42.x86_64

I am totally at a loss as to why it wants to install the 2.5-42 version of the glibc. For that you'd need to send me the debug output.

That being said, what happens when you put the arch on your command.

  yum install glibc-devel.i386

If that still gives the same error, then send me the output of

  yum  -d 10 install glibc-devel.i386

Thanks
Troy
