Installing updated glibc: Conflicts with old install

[Joel Hammer]

I did as you suggested. This command seems to be an improvement over my
trial and error approach. However, here is all I get.

  [root at jhammer6 Glibc]# rpm -Uvh glibc*
  failed to stat /mnt/NetWork/HAMMER8/D: Input/output error
  package glibc-localedata-2.1.3-6 is already installed

I did install glibc-localedata-2.1.3-6 before "successfully" with my usual try
anything approach.

I conclude that this installation didn't go right because of the output of

   [root at jhammer6 Glibc]# ls -al /lib/libc-*
   -rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root      1249095 Feb 17  2000 /lib/libc-2.1.2.so       

    and

   [root at jhammer6 Glibc]# rpm -qa | grep glibc     
   quake2-3.20-glibc-6
   glibc-2.1.2-3
   glibc-devel-2.1.2-3
   glibc-devel-static-2.1.2-3
   wine-wpo2000-glibc-2.1-2000.03.13.12.01-1
   fonttastic-glibc-2.1-2000.03.13.12.01-1
   glibc-localedata-2.1.3-6              

I am still confused. Should I just rpm -e glibc-localedata-2.1.3-6 and try
again?

BTW, what will happen to my other glibc's (wine, fontastic) if I am
successful in installing glibc-2.1.3.6 ? Will they still work? 
What if I hose my machine? This machine double boots. Could I easily reinstall
the old glibc?

Thanks,

Joel
