I have chked with my linux admin and he has suggested not to run the update.
He has also suggested that the server has the required glidc files (glibc-2.5-81.el5_8.4)

rpm -qa | grep glibc
glibc-2.5-81.el5_8.4
compat-glibc-2.3.4-2.26
glibc-2.5-107
compat-glibc-headers-2.3.4-2.26
glibc-devel-2.5-81.el5_8.4
glibc-common-2.5-81.el5_8.4
glibc-common-2.5-107
glibc-devel-2.5-107
glibc-2.5-81.el5_8.4
glibc-headers-2.5-81.el5_8.4
glibc-headers-2.5-107
compat-glibc-2.3.4-2.26

He has also suggested that we could install below if required

glibc.x86_64 2.5-107.el5_9.4 rhel-x86_64-server-5
glibc-common.x86_64 2.5-107.el5_9.4 rhel-x86_64-server-5
glibc-devel.x86_64 2.5-107.el5_9.4 rhel-x86_64-server-5
glibc-headers.x86_64 2.5-107.el5_9.4 rhel-x86_64-server-5

the version of linux we are using is - Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.9 (Tikanga) - 2.6.18-348.1.1.el5 #1 SMP Fri Dec 14 05:25:59 EST 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

MSPk,

Are you able to run package cleanup as suggested?

Code: Select all

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

Thanks,

[MSPk]

should the command be ./fullinstall --skip-broken??

[yancy]

MSPk,

Try cleaning any dependency problems:

Code: Select all

 package-cleanup --problems 

if you receive command not found, you may need to run the following first

Code: Select all

yum install yum-utils

Thanks,

Hi,

We are now able to install the agent on the server. This thread can be closed.
