Hi
I made an update of my Centos 5.5 yesterday. In doing so glibc has been updated to glibc.i686. Just now some of my FPGA tools crash. Unfortunately there isn't a downgrade for glibc.i686. How can I replace glibc.i686 by glibc.i386?
A simple yum install glibc.i386 conflicts with the files from package glibc-2.5-65.i686
yum list glibc
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

Hi
Download [url=http://pkgs.org/download/glibc]glibc-2.5-65.i386.rpm[/url] and replace glibc.i686 by glibc.i386 using rpm:
[code]
# wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/glibc-2.5-65.i386.rpm
# rpm -Uvh --force glibc-2.5-65.i386.rpm[/code]

Yes, I thought this way too. But how about the "old" glibc.686? Is it still in the rpm database?

You can delete it (example from Fedora 15):
[code]# rpm -q glibc
glibc-2.14-5.x86_64
glibc-2.14-5.i686
# rpm -e glibc-2.14-5.i686[/code]

But since i386 and i686 probably share file locations, is rpm smart enough to not actually remove the files too? Maybe need to add --justdb?
I'd also thought about booting the rescue CD and using rpm --root /mnt/sysimage to manipulate the installed system from there but the man page says it chroots to that so it's probably no more safe than doing the upgrade in place.
