Updated glibc packages for redhat 9
I tried to download some patches from:
https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-325.html#Red%20Hat%20Linux%209
to update my redhat 9.
When I tried "rpm -i glibc-common-2.3.2-27.9.7.
What I need to do to do the sucessful upgrade? Another question is there are quite a lot of package files of glibc, e.g. glibc-2.3.2-xx.rpm, glibc-common-2.3.2-xx.rpm,

What you really need to do is to use up2date against RedHat's servers or Yum (see http://linux.duke.edu/projects/yum/) to do this update. There are a number of files involved, and not just those that begin with glibc.

Thanks jlevie, I browsed the url of yum and downloaded a .rpm file and a .tar.gz file. But it seems there is no examples explain how to install or how to use it. Could you please give me a quick example?

rpm -ih yum-2.0.6-1.noarch.rpm to install. Then follow
http://www.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/General/yum_HOWTO/yum_HOWTO/yum_HOWTO-10.html to use it.
http://www.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/General/yum_HOWTO/yum_HOWTO/yum_HOWTO-10.html to use it.
try installing your updated packages as:
rpm -Uvh glibc-common-2.3.2-27.9.7.
this means upgrade the package.
If you want to use yum type package manager, try SYNAPTIC
it is X-based, graphical tool, checks dependencies and does a lot of things more.
rpm -Uvh glibc-common-2.3.2-27.9.7.
this means upgrade the package.

(1) when I tried "rpm -Uvh glibc-common-2.3.2-27.9.7.
V3 DSA signature: NOLKEY, Key ID ....
dependicies:
glibc-common=2.3.2-11.9 is needed by (installed) glibc-2.3.2-11.9
(2) After installing Yum, I tried "yum upgrade glibc-common-2.3.2-27.9.7.
Cannot find any package matching glibc-common-2.3.2-27.9.7.
for (1), I use rpm to query and found glibc-common-2.3.2-11.9 package has been already installed.
for (2) I checked the documentation but still not get through, could you please give more detailed instructions? Thanks.
