Hello readers,

I'm getting this error always when I try to install or update an RPM package.

rpm: relocation error: /lib/libselinux.so.1: symbol
__snprintf_chk, version GLIBC_2.3.4 not defined in file libc.so.6
with link time reference

The same error appears in many other places too. I've tried to update libselinux, glibc and other libraries, but without success - the same error appears in that cases too.

Any ideas?

what glibc version are you running? try running "strings /lib/libc.so.6 | grep GLIB" to see what symbols ARE defined.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. I have following symbols defined:
GLIBC_2.0
GLIBC_2.1
GLIBC_2.1.1
GLIBC_2.1.2
GLIBC_2.1.3
GLIBC_2.2
GLIBC_2.2.1
GLIBC_2.2.2
GLIBC_2.2.3
GLIBC_2.2.4
GLIBC_2.2.6
GLIBC_2.3
GLIBC_2.3.2
GLIBC_2.3.3
GLIBC_2.3.4
GLIBC_PRIVATE

GLIBC_2.3.4 is listed up there and that makes the case rather interesting...

Following glibc versions are installed:
glibc-devel-2.3.3-27
glibc-common-2.3.3-27
glibc-headers-2.3.3-27
glibc-2.3.3-27
glibc-kernheaders-2.4-8.44

have you rebooted during this? running ldconfig might help you out. also ensure there are no other copies of libc.so.6 on your system, no idea where they might be though... another thing to tick of though
