RPM Upgarding problem with libstdc++

Eli_pok — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 11:26:44 GMT

Hi,

I'm using Red-Hat 4.4, and trying to update libstdc++ (the current version is 3.4.6-3) to version 4.0.2-8.

When i try to update (using rpm -Uvh) i get the following errors (Failed Dependencies):
libstdc++ = 3.4.6-3 is needed by (installed) libstdc++-devel-3.4.6-3.i386
libstdc++ = 3.4.6 is needed by (installed) gcc-c++3.4.6-3.i386

As the errors indicate, libstdc++-devel-3.4.6-3.i386 and gcc-c++3.4.6-3.i386 are already installed!

I'm trying to figure out what RPM means by that.

My assumption is that RPM tries to remove libstc++ old file(s) in order to replace it with the new one(s) and fails because gcc-c++ and libstc++-devel need it.

Am i right?
Do I need to upgrade libstc++-devel and gcc-c++ to the same version of libstdc++ first and only then upgarding libstc++ ?

check this link :

- you could use yum for ths action, yum will select automaticaly what are the dependiency for your libstdc++

Shalom,

You need to update these two apps.

libstdc++-devel-3.4.6-3.i386

gcc-c++3.4.6-3.i386

yum update takes care of these issues more smoothly. Centos yum can be installed on RHEL 4

I didn't mention that it's a close orgazniztion, so we have our own yum repository (with version 3.4.6-3 for all those rpm).

I'll try to update libstdc++-devel and gcc-c++ first

either remove the devel and gcc packages, or update devel and gcc packages at the same time (it's one rpm command, just specify all packages at the same time after eachother).

Of the subject, but I miss it when the --aid option to rpm used to work.
