glibc-2.2.4 installation issues

[kasuals]

I need to upgrade from glibc-2.2.2

I downloaded the glibc-2.2.4 /common/devel and attempted to install all 3 rpms, however I keep going in circles with the installation regarding dependencies:

[root@localhost /temp]# rpm -i glibc-2.2.4-19.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
glibc-common = 2.2.4-19 is needed by glibc-2.2.4-19
glibc-devel < 2.2.3 conflicts with glibc-2.2.4-19
glibc > 2.2.2 conflicts with glibc-common-2.2.2-10
[root@localhost /temp]# rpm -i glibc-common-2.2.4-19.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
glibc < 2.2.4 conflicts with glibc-common-2.2.4-19
[root@localhost /temp]# rpm -i glibc-devel-2.2.4-19.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
glibc = 2.2.4 is needed by glibc-devel-2.2.4-19
[root@localhost /temp]#


Any ideas?

BTW, if I attempt to force with --nodeps it just spits out a bunch of lines saying the isntall files conflict.

You need to install them all at once with
[tt]rpm -U glibc-2.2.4-19.i386.rpm glibc-common-2.2.4-19.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.2.4-19.i386.rpm[/tt]

Personally, I'm a little conservative about upgrading such a 'core' package like glibc. A distribution is usually built and bug-tested around a specific set of package versions. Little stuff here and there is ok, but glibc is kind of essential (anyone remember the perl v4 -> v5 upgrade mess with Debian-unstable a few years ago ;-) ?)
