I did the same thing and even grabbed the files from the same ftp
When rpm was updating, there were two script failures, reboot.  I'm hosed.

Thanks - that fixed it for me (OP).

FYI I went here:
ftp://limestone.uoregon.edu/fedora/6/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS

and got:
glibc-devel-2.5-3.i386.rpm    nscd-2.5-3.i386.rpm
glibc-2.5-3.i386.rpm         glibc-headers-2.5-3.i386.rpm
glibc-common-2.5-3.i386.rpm  glibc-utils-2.5-3.i386.rpm

then:
rpm -Uvh --oldpackage glibc*.rpm nscd*.rpm

that fixed it.




Death before Decaf!!!
