  • Can not "yum update" because of glibc

    Posted on

    Recently I've been getting an error message when trying to do a yum update.
    I'm updating against our satellite server and the following repos are enabled.
    [root@servername ~]# yum repolist
    Loaded plugins: enabled_repos_upload, langpacks, package_upload, product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager
    repo id repo name status
    !rhel-7-server-optional-rpms/7Server/x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Server - Optional (RPMs) 17,235
    !rhel-7-server-rpms/7Server/x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Server (RPMs) 23,364
    !rhel-7-server-satellite-tools-6.4-rpms/x86_64 Red Hat Satellite Tools 6.4 (for RHEL 7 Server) (RPMs) 70
    repolist: 40,669

    When the update gets to glibc, I get the following.

    I'm not sure why it wants glibc.i686 and more importantly, why isn't it avaiable.
