I'm sorry to keep you waiting for the results of this. I know you have
all been anxiously waiting to find out how this turned out. :-)
Before I saw your message, I had started yum with the following command
yum update
on Tuesday about 11:00 am and it just finished the update about two
hours ago. I work on a dial-up line and the update took two days.
Anyway, after running yum update (which completed successfully) I ran
apt-get check
and it completed normally
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
However when I ran
apt-get --simulate upgrade
it gave me a very long list of packages held back (attached to the end
of this message)
Since the yum update completed successfully does that mean my rpm
database should be OK?
It depends, apt claims you haven't updated glibc, have you? Should be
glibc-2.3.4-2.fc3.
If your installed package is still the old one, yum messed up, if it's
the new old apt messed up.
For good measure, I'd make sure my rpm database is in order. Try this:
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__*
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 rpm --rebuilddb
Then try again the yum/apt commands.
Is apt-get indicating problems with the database and if so are they
because it is having trouble in an x86_64 system?
# apt-get --simulate upgrade
[...]
The following packages have been kept back
[...] glibc glibc-common glibc-devel glibc-headers
