I have a weird issue with some servers that I manage at work.. We use Katello/Satellite 6 to manage our repos/pkgs and subscribe our servers to it. In the Katello Web UI it says that glibc-2.12-1.212.el6.x86_64 and glibc-common-2.12-1.212.el6.x86_64 is an applicable update on the system, I'll then click to update and it'll say successful.. however nothing happens and Katello still shows me that it's an applicable update.

If I ssh to the server itself and try and do a yum install glibc-2.12-1.212.el6.x86_64 it says no package found. This is on a CentOS 6.10 box. Could I potentially be missing a repo which has this package? Currently I am syncing cents6 extras, os, updates, and epel6 repos.

We have some other packages such as nscd which rely on the latest glibc as a dependency as well so I'm just super curious why this is happening.

  • OK `glibc` is the most important library in OS and any updates to it (what you ask about) will surely be available in `updates` official repo. – kubanczyk Mar 22 '19 at 20:07
  • So in my upstream repo of http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/ has the package `glibc-2.12-1.212.el6.x86_64`. If that's the case how come doing a yum install of glibc doesnt let me install the latest version? – Alexander D Mar 22 '19 at 20:26
  • What do your logfiles say? – Don Simon Mar 22 '19 at 20:45
  • What logfiles would I look at in this case? I don't think there's any actual errors as opposed to for whatever reason yum can't see glib-212 from any of my repos – Alexander D Mar 22 '19 at 21:29
