Possible glibc issues: hard to fix with risk of breakage

[Steven E. Protter]

Centos 5.4 64 bit.

Something is definitely wrong.

It seems to me marked for update butg already installed.

glibc-2.5-42.el5_4.2

That sticks out due to version mismatch.

Can't just take glibc out with yum, half the system is dependent on it.

This happened after a recent update/reboot that included glibc and had similar errors.

An attempt to install an rpm like postfix generates a bunch of errors complaining about libraries glibc provides. The .so files are all present.

So I am fishing for some tips on how to diagnose and correct.

Mystery partially solved.

/etc/nswitch.conf was set immutable for security purposes with chattr command.

Need to remember not to update a system with the files locked down.

I have to break postfix to see if this is a total fix but will report back.

Here is the error when installing postfix

[root@mercury x86_64]# rpm -ivh postfix-2.3.3-2.1.x86_64.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:

Note that if I install it --nodeps

The install works fine and so does postfix since glibc is clearly available on the system.

Looks as if your libc6 install/upgrade croaked on itself. Do not reboot or switch down the machine!

Is scp still working? Check this, and if it is, locate a machine/server with the same version of glibc that was here earlier, copy it over into /lib and run ldconfig. Do not run ldconfig before this.

One 2c tip. ;)

[Stephen P. Schaefer]

The fact that anything is working at all would indicate to me that some vestige of a working glibc is still present. Now that you've unlocked /etc/nsswitch.conf, I would

(a) get an appropriate copy of the glibc rpm

(b) use rpm -ql -p glibc...rpm to get a list of the *other* files you need to unlock

(c) after unlocking them, use rpm -Uvh --force glibc...rpm

(d) continue with a yum update

If things go very wrong, then I'd boot from alternative media (e.g., rescue option when booting from a DVD) with the desired glibc...rpm available, mount the damaged file systems on this in memory version of the OS, and use rpm --root to get a good glibc installed. OR, having kept all unique data on their own file systems (and confident that it's all backed up) reinstall the OS - which in a medium to large shop will usually be an automated process.

[Matti_Kurkela · Accepted solution]

Looks like the _32-bit_ glibc.i686 package might somehow have usurped the place of a _64-bit_ glibc.x86_64 in the installed package database.
Postfix installation is producing errors, because it depends on the 64-bit version specifically.

A x86_64 system with 32-bit compatibility libraries installed should have both versions of glibc, but the packaging system is generally supposed to understand that the configuration files like /etc/nsswitch.conf are shared between the two packages, but belong primarily to the 64-bit version (since it's the native architecture).

If "yum update glibc.x86_64" does not clear the problem, you should probably download a 64-bit version of the glibc package of the appropriate version (i.e. glibc-2.5-42.el5_4.3.x86_64 or newer) and install it manually (using "rpm -Uvh").

I wonder why your earlier "yum update glibc" got only the 32-bit version... usually updates to both 32-bit and 64-bit versions are released almost simultaneously.

Shalom,

It would appear the 64 bit glibc is missing from the system.

Nothing 64 bit here at all. It's kind of amazing that postfix is working at all.

scp and all is working fine.

Not wanting to mess with my production inbound email during business hours, I will put off the install attempt on postfix, which is working anyway until this evening.

Expect bunnies by moring.

Didn't get to this yesterday.

Any thoughts on why rpm -qa doesn't show any difference between the x86 and x64 versions of glibc.

I found that confusing. Perhaps there is another option I am unaware of that I could use to make this more clear to my pea brain molecules.

Add arch info to the rpm query using the --queryformat parameter:

rpm -q --queryformat '%{NAME}%{VERSION}%{RELEASE}%{ARCH}\n' glibc

[Steven E. Protter]

I improved upon the last suggest but awarded bunny level pointage.

[root@mercury bin]# rpmdet.sh glibc
glibc2.542.el5_4.3.i686
glibc2.542.el5_4.3.x86_64
[root@mercury bin]# cat rpmdet.sh
rpm -q --queryformat '%{NAME}%{VERSION}%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n' $1


Good work people.
