ok, then there are no such as glibc-common-2.3.2-4.80.6.i686.rpm available, only glibc-common-2.3.2-4.80.6.i386.rpm. could I use the "glibc-common-2.3.2-4.80.6.i386.rpm" with glibc-2.3.2-4.80.6.i686.rpm?
actually most of glibc related packages are marked with i386.rpm. only two packages: "glibc-2.3.2-4.80.6.i686.rpm" and "glibc-debug-2.3.2-4.80.6.i686.rpm" are marked as i686. could I just use those i386 packages? my best guess would be "yes" ... tia _dave --- Ed Wilts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wed, Jul 16, 2003 at 02:43:50AM +1000, snort bsd > wrote: > > i am using rh8 and the machine ("uname -m") is > i686. > > there are a lot of upgrades for rh8; some for i386 > and > > some for i686. could i use them in mixed fasion, > as > > long as those rpm packages have the same version > > number? > > If the 686 variant of the package is available, use > it.
