[CLUE-Tech] kernel upgrade trouble

[Friedman, Jason]

I'm trying to upgrade my RedHat 7.3 kernel:


$ rpm -Uvh modutils-*
error: failed dependencies:
        libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)   is needed by modutils-2.4.18-2

$ rpm -Uvh kernel-*2.4.18-18*

/lib/i686/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.2.5.so

$ rpm -q glibc
glibc-2.2.5-42


I've got the most recent glibc I can find for RedHat i686, and I'm doing
this upgrade because of the security concerns listed on RedHat's
website.
