The past week or so has been my first real foray into the world of server administration having purchased my first VPS. I'm just about managing to get to grip with things but please, consider me a beginner. Like a 'REAL' beginner.
Trying to update glibc on account of that nasty little bug that's making headlines. Worryingly, I'm not getting very far with things. When running yum update I'm getting the following output:
Code: Select all

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
So far though, nothing has worked. Any ideas guys? Had a search around but couldn't dig anything up relevant so forgive me if I've missed a previous thread on this. Here's hoping it's a schoolboy error that we can chalk down to a lack of experience!
All the best,
