Re: packaging for native OLPC platform
Can you do a rpm -qa | grep glibc and see if the glibc reports the
i686 version? I've seen this before with some of the AMD geode
processors where the build process uses the i686 package as it can run
fine on this particular AMD processor but in actual fact its an i586
processor so yum/rpm think there should be the i386 version and hence
don't see that glibc.i686 needs upgrading but glibc-common being i386
does but conflicts.
Thank you. This is indeed what seems to be happening.
[I guess this is one situation where a "smart" tool reaches a
more-difficult-to-use conclusion than a "dumb" human.]
You can force the upgrade by downloading the rpms
and using "rpm -Uvh --ignorearch glibc-package-names.rpm"
Tried it for the fun of it but there was something wrong with the
downloaded files. In any case, OLPC has released a newer-yet build
which I've now installed, instead of fooling with upgrading the old
build.
Thank you for your assistance and explanation, mikus
