RPM conflicts between glibc-devel and glibc-kernheaders

[Michael Kratz]

I was doing yum update, with the aim of doing a yum upgrade after 
installing a few more packages manually.

To get around it I removed gcc and glibc-devel.

I ended up doing a yum upgrade, and upgraded the whole box to 7.3... 
then tried installing them again and it still didn't work.

It doesn't bother me all that much that they aren't installed, just 
means that I can't use GCC on that box.

Cheers,
