Different versions of glibc RedHat

Question

Before I jump into the issue, I am using RedHat 6.5 and have no access to the internet to download yum updates due to environment restrictions. All I have in this case is the CD ROM (RHEL 6.5) to utilize. After the image is updated, we utilize an internet server to pull updates but prior the server needs to be able to stand on its own.

On the image I need to utilize ldapsearch, so I did a yum whatprovides */ldapsearch to figure out which package to install.

I received:

openldap-clients-2.4.23-32.el6_4.1.x86_64 : LDAP client utilities
Repo        : cdrom
Matched from:
Filename    : /usr/bin/ldapsearch

When I go to install this package:

[root@test1 yum.repos.d]# yum install openldap-clients-2.4.23-32.el6_4.1.x86_64
Loaded plugins: product-id, security, subscription-manager
This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management. You can use subscription-manager to register.

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

It would seem that I do not have the right package for my version installed already:

[root@test1 yum.repos.d]# rpm -qa | grep glibc
glibc-common-2.12-1.132.el6_5.2.x86_64
glibc-2.12-1.132.el6_5.2.x86_64

Obviously if I try and remove glibc and reinstall from the CD-ROM which would provide a newer version I receive a whole lot of errors since glibc cannot exactly be removed...

What can I do to remove this _5.2 version of glibc and replace it with the newer version available on the disc?

It looks like there are some architecture problem, as the openldap-clients.x86_64 (note: 64 bit) correctly require the "openldap" package that is resolved to "openldap.i686" (note: 32 bit). This, in the end, last to the request to install the 32 bit release of the glibc (glibc-2.12-1.132.el6.i686) while you've installed the 64 bit (glibc-common-2.12-1.132.el6_5.2.x86_64). Please, tell us some details about your architecture and if you're (deliberately/not) using 32bit packages in a 64bit system. — Damiano Verzulli, Aug 13 '15 at 20:51
@DamianoVerzulli my attempt is to use a 64bit architecture (x86_64). I am not deliberately using or not using 32bit packages. I typically just install packages and the system ends up installing what it is I need. For instance if I want to install sssd I did `yum install sssd*` so that I would obtain all the packages. — user2104891, Aug 13 '15 at 23:16
If you try to install the openldap package, what version yum will choose? 32 or 64bit? In the first case, what happens if you explicitely ask for the 64bit version (yum install openldap.x86_64)? The idea is to manually solve dependencies forcing proper architecture. — Damiano Verzulli, Aug 14 '15 at 06:14
@DamianoVerzulli If I try and install the openldap, allowing yum to decide the architecture I receive the message that openldap is already installed which is expected but since I also want openldap-clients `Package openldap-clients.x86_64 0:2.4.23-32.el6_4.1.` tries to install the 64bit package. As in the description above, it wants to install both 32bit and 64bit packages...which then at the end glibc is all kinds of screwed up. — user2104891, Aug 14 '15 at 12:13
So, currently, the 32bit version of the "openldap" package is installare in your system? You can check with the output of "rpm -qi openldap" — Damiano Verzulli, Aug 14 '15 at 12:19
@DamianoVerzulli this is the version installed: `[root@test1 ~]# rpm -qi openldap Name : openldap Relocations: (not relocatable) Version : 2.4.23 Vendor: Red Hat, Inc. Release : 34.el6_5.1 Build Date: Tue 28 Jan 2014 06:33:23 AM PST Install Date: Fri 08 Aug 2014 10:55:32 AM PDT Build Host: x86-022.build.eng.bos.redhat.com Group : System Environment/Daemons Source RPM: openldap-2.4.23-34.el6_5.1.src.rpm Size : 792868 License: OpenLDAP ` — user2104891, Aug 14 '15 at 12:22
Sorry. The architecture is not explicitely shown with "-qi". I suspect it's the x86_64 package (based on the reported "Size"). Please, can you check again with "rpm -q openldap"? (without the "i" flag) — Damiano Verzulli, Aug 14 '15 at 12:37
@DamianoVerzulli looks like its the 64bit package openldap-2.4.23-34.el6_5.1.x86_64 — user2104891, Aug 14 '15 at 12:42
Ok. So, to recap: you have the package `openldap-2.4.23-34.el6_5.1.x86_64` installed on your system, but, if you try to install the openldap-clients via yum, than the dependency resolution process worked out by yum ends in several "32 bit" packages to be installed, starting from "openldap.i686 0:2.4.23-32.el6_4.1" and ending with "glibc-2.12-1.132.el6.i686". Is it correct? — Damiano Verzulli, Aug 14 '15 at 12:48
@DamianoVerzulli That is correct, I have openldap installed on my system and trying to install throws the dependency issues. The openldap attempt to install is in the original question if you want to look through it again for the errors. I was not the original builder of this image just inherited it. I built a new fresh copy myself and looked at glibc and there difference was on the image with the issues I have installed `glibc-2.12-1.132.el6_5.2.x86_64` and the image where I have no issues I have `glibc-2.12-1.132.el6.x86_64` Is that `_5.2` have something to do with it? — user2104891, Aug 14 '15 at 12:57
Ok. So let's check what happens bypassing YUM and getting straight with RPM. I suggest to download `openldap-clients.x86_64` (check at https://access.redhat.com/solutions/10154 , should you wonder how to do it with YUM) and then trying a manual install (only a test, not a real install) with `rpm -ivh --test openldap-clients*********.rpm`. Let us know what happens. — Damiano Verzulli, Aug 14 '15 at 14:13
