httpd dies at logrotate due to glibc update

[raines]

I have a web server still running 7.3. A few days ago I needed to compile something that required 'cmake' so I do a 'yum install cmake'. This also pulled in updates to glibc, gcc, libstdc++, etc. from 7.4.

This morning I came in to find the httpd process had died overnight. Apparently it rotated logs but could not restart due to this error:

Code: Select all

httpd: Syntax error on line 56 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-lua.conf: Cannot load modules/mod_lua.so into server: /lib64/libm.so.6: symbol __strtold_nan, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference

Should the yum update of glibc trigger updates of packages like httpd it would break somehow? Or is it just a general rule that one should never update glibc without updating everything?

We don't support cherry picking updates from a new point release. It's all or none with all being recommended since the old point release will not receive any more updates at all.

Most probably an update will fix it all.
Otherwise you have 'yum downgrade/rollback/undo' options.
