I used the RHN - red-hat satellite version 5.x in order to install errata patch: ( on linux version 6.x ) glibc-2.12-1.166.el6_7.7.x86_64

while the curent patch on my linux was:

glibc-devel-2.12-1.166.el6_7.3.x86_64

WITH RHN the patch installed successfully.

But now I want to return to the previous patch version - 

 glibc-devel-2.12-1.166.el6_7.3.x86_64

Please advise how can I perform downgrade process with RHN?

What are the steps required in order to perform the downgrade?

from my linux machine:

# yum history info | tail -5
    Updated glibc-devel-2.12-1.166.el6_7.3.x86_64   @rhel-x86_64-server-6
    Update              2.12-1.166.el6_7.7.x86_64   @rhel-x86_64-server-6
    Updated glibc-headers-2.12-1.166.el6_7.3.x86_64 @rhel-x86_64-server-6
    Update                2.12-1.166.el6_7.7.x86_64 @rhel-x86_64-server-6

  • This turns out to be a difficult problem. [Red Hat recommends against using Satellite to rollback kernel and glibc updates.](https://access.redhat.com/solutions/24942) And using yum manually is [possible](https://access.redhat.com/node/29617), but you lose the benefits of automation... – Michael Hampton Mar 03 '16 at 15:58
