Is this a normal error?

Package glibc-dummy-centos-3 needs glibc-common = 2.3.2-95.33, this is not available.


Then it goes on to do a whole bunch of other stuff about packages are the latest and don't need to be updated.

What the heck is glibc-dummy-centos-3.

That isn't normal, you do need the glibc-common rpm. Try setting the yum mirrors to the default ones for CentOS just incase you're using a faulty mirror. Also make sure that glibc* hasn't been added to an exclude list in yum.conf

I have the same problem, Package glibc-dummy-centos-3 needs glibc-common = 2.3.2-95.33, this is not available. But I check for glibc-common and this is the result:

~#rpm -qa glibc-common
glibc-common-2.3.2-95.33

And in the yum.conf, gl* aren't excluded

What Can I do?

Thanks chirpy!

Is this a VPS?

 

[dalem]

for virtuozzo versions prior to 3.0 you need to add glibc* to the skip list and all will be well

 

[tarraco]

Yes, It's a VPS chirpy,

I think that Virtuozzo verison is 2.1, so I try to exclude the glibc*

Thanks!
