Seeing upstream has an update for glibc http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2009-0052.html I rebuilt the glibc-2.3.4-2.41.el4_7.1.src.rpm and it produced the following rpms :- glibc-2.3.4-2.41.el4_7.1.i386.rpm glibc-common-2.3.4-2.41.el4_7.1.i386.rpm glibc-debuginfo-2.3.4-2.41.el4_7.1.i386.rpm glibc-debuginfo-common-2.3.4-2.41.el4_7.1.i386.rpm glibc-devel-2.3.4-2.41.el4_7.1.i386.rpm glibc-headers-2.3.4-2.41.el4_7.1.i386.rpm glibc-profile-2.3.4-2.41.el4_7.1.i386.rpm glibc-utils-2.3.4-2.41.el4_7.1.i386.rpm nptl-devel-2.3.4-2.41.el4_7.1.i386.rpm nscd-2.3.4-2.41.el4_7.1.i386.rpm Is it okay to install all of them or should i skip the debuginfo rpms? Is an official CentOS update going to be made of the glibc from Red Hat?

Soon to be released to a mirror near you! -- MailScanner is like deodorant...

Soon to be released to a mirror near you!Those packages will eventually appear in CentOS mirrors (except they are for CentOS-4, not -5). :-D The bug fixes (marked RHBA) may not get a high priority as security fixes (marked RHSA) do. So, they may lag a bit when the developers are tied up with more urgent tasks. You can see what you current have on your system by: rpm -qa glibc\* nptl\* nscd That will give you a hint as to which packages you want to update. Akemi
