As you already know lately my VPS have been hacked through a VHCS exploit so I am moving all my websites to another server. I am now using cPanel which installed Apache HTTPD Server 1.3 and PHP 4.4.7 by default. I wanted to update it to Apache 2.0 and PHP 5.2.7 through WHM’s Apache Update but got the following error:
Error: Missing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.3.4-2.13 is needed by package glibc-dummy-centos-4
And further down the log file:
!! Could not ensure pkglist ‘zlib1-devel, expat-devel, gettext, automake19, libopenssl0-dev, expat, openssl, gcc-c++, glibc-devel, zlib-devel, libstdc++, zlib, bison, autoconf261, gmake, libstdc++-devel, openssl-devel, automake, coreutils, libtool-libltdl-devel, libopenssl0, openssl-dev, libtool, patch, libstdc++-dev, libz-devel, libltdl, libltdl3-devel, libopenssl0.9.7-static-devel, pam-dev, libtool-ltdl-devel, libopenssl0.9.7-devel, fileutils, libltdl-devel, sed, krb5-dev, flex, glibc-dev, expat-dev, krb5-devel, make, libssl-dev, pam-devel, cpp, gcc, libopenssl0-devel, ssl-dev, lex, autoconf’ !!

This was simply solved by removing the glibc-dummy package like this:
# yum erase glibc-dummy
The glibc-dummy package is installed to save disk space by moving some data into the Virtuozzo template area. It should be safe to remove it but always make a backup of your VPS before doing so.
The Apache Update went well after removing the glibc-dummy package.
