Centos 5.X GHOST glib issue.

[jab2805]

Hi all,


I'm triying to patch my glibc version however it keeps failling. I notice my servers only point at the epel extra repo:

epel Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 5 - x86_64 6,678

yum.repos.d]# yum repolist
repo id repo name status

epel Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 5 - x86_64 6,678
linkshare-php536 linkshare-php536 33
repolist: 6,711

-----------------------------------

[root@gcvs8043 yum.repos.d]# yum list | grep glibc

glibc.i686 2.5-107 installed
glibc.x86_64 2.5-107 installed
glibc-common.x86_64 2.5-107 installed
glibc-devel.x86_64 2.5-107 installed
glibc-headers.x86_64 2.5-107 installed

--------------------------------------


what is the corerect repo to point to fix the ghost glibc issue..

What is the content of /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo? Does rpm -V centos-release complete with no output?

[root@gcvs8005 yum.repos.d]# rpm -V centos-release
S.5....T c /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
S.5....T c /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Media.repo
[root@gcvs8005 yum.repos.d]#

My guess is that someone (you?) once disabled all base repos and that you haven't seen any updates since October 2012. It also seems you are using some obscure php-5.3.6 repo.

[TrevorH]

Edit the file and change enabled=0 to 1 for both [base] and [updates] sections.

IUS packages php 5.3 in a sane manner but you should be aware that their php53 version is the last one that will be produced as 5.3 is EOL upstream at php.net.
