Compatition package for CentOS6.6

Question

my CentOS 6.6 linux kernel is: 2.6.32-642.6.2.el6.i686 #1 SMP Wed Oct 26 06:14:53 UTC 2016 I want to upgrade my auditd package to newer version, but there are many choices and I don't know which is best suitable:

CentOS i386 Official

audit-2.4.5-6.el6.i686.rpm
audit-libs-2.4.5-6.el6.i686.rpm
audit-libs-devel-2.4.5-6.el6.i686.rpm

CentOS x86_64 Official

audit-2.4.5-6.el6.x86_64.rpm
audit-libs-2.4.5-6.el6.i686.rpm
audit-libs-2.4.5-6.el6.x86_64.rpm
audit-libs-devel-2.4.5-6.el6.i686.rpm
audit-libs-devel-2.4.5-6.el6.x86_64.rpm

And I can't update from yum too. Thanks

If you can't use `yum` to update, then the only way that you can get a later version is to build it from source. You'll have to get the `i686` versions because of you kernel. — Nasir Riley, Mar 11 '20 at 04:41
audit-2.4.5-6.el6.x86_64.rpm is the normal package, the rest being the x64 and x86 libraries. Just install that one. — Overmind, Mar 11 '20 at 06:11

You probably want to install audit-2.4.5-6.el6.x86_64.rpm and audit-libs-2.4.5-6.el6.i686.rpm. You probably do not need audit-libs-devel as that's used to compile programs against the library.

You can tell which packages you need by looking at your processor architecture (which you helpfully posted in the question). In this case, it's a 32-bit architecture (i686) which is somewhat unusual these days. Technically you might only need the audit package, but it won't hurt to also install audit-libs.
