cPanel & WHM update failure in upcp script

[Hlone]

Hey
For a while I get a mail saying that cPanel & WHM update failure in upcp script.
In the mail, The cPanel & WHM update process failed for the following reason: Maintenance ended; however, it did not exit cleanly (256). The following events were logged: “scripts/rpmup”. Review the update logs to determine why the update failed.

The problem is that I'm completely lost and I don't know what to do. even reading the log:

Hey there! This error indicates there is an issue with the RPM update itself, so you'll likely get more details on the error by trying that update outside of the cPanel update. Can you run this command?

yum update

I would expect that to show an issue and get you pointed in the right direction.

Thanks for that - that's exactly what I was hoping to see.

It seems there are several operating system packages related to Glibc that are causing errors with the update. Specifically, it seems that 32-bit packages are trying to be installed on a 64-bit system.

You'll want to work with your hosting provider to find out why this is happening as Glibc is a core operating system package - if it is improperly handled it could completely break the system, so I'm not able to provide commands or advice here.

Okay thank you so much. I will try to contact him and explain the problem or simply change the system.

That sounds good - let me know if there's anything else I can help with.
