Dear Friends,
I have Red Hat 8. I upgraded GLIBC to latest, to install the latest
softwares. It did work fine. Then I had installed only GNOME desktop, not
GNOME development environment. Now when I try to install GNOME development
environment, system is asking for Xft 2.0 version only, it is not accepting
Xft 2.1 version, which I upgraded (unncessarily by mistake) sometimes back
as dependency resolving process of some other application installation.
What I need?
1. Trying to revert back Xft with old package version through RPM command
with --oldpackage, --force, --repackage..... but I always get "Segmentation
Fault". But RPM command works fine with other package installation. I
tried --rebuilddb also., but no use. How to revert back to old version of
Xft, so that I can install GNOME development environment?
2. Another approach: So far I have tried installing GNOME development
environment with "redhat-config-package" GUI tool only. I have started
thinking of installing this complete package (Standard + Optional) through
command line, so that I can force RPM to take new version of Xft. Is it the
right way of thinking? If it is so, how to do that? bacause of a lot of
Standard package RPMs are involved in GNOME development system, which may
have a lot of dependencies.
Expecting your help in this regard,
Regards
