You could force the upgrade to the same version.or for a quick test us mc to copy the Brussels file out of the rpm. fwiw here is the ll from my zoninfo/Europe file [bhughes@bretsony Europe]$ pwd /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe [bhughes@bretsony Europe]$ ll B* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1347 Sep 9 08:57 Belfast -rw-r--r-- 5 root root 696 Sep 9 08:57 Belgrade -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 837 Sep 9 08:57 Berlin -rw-r--r-- 2 root root 806 Sep 9 08:57 Bratislava -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1067 Sep 9 08:57 Brussels -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 798 Sep 9 08:57 Bucharest -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 866 Sep 9 08:57 Budapest [bhughes@bretsony Europe]$ rpm -q glibc-common glibc-common-2.2.5-40 looks like I should upgrade.
