Yum unable to resolve dependency of a existing file in the $PATH

I am trying to install a rpm and it is failing due to a unresolved dependance. The file libc.so.6 is the the path of $PATH, so don't know what it is complaining about.

# yum install libdb-5.3.21-3.fc18.x86_64.rpm                      Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

Is it a CentOS system you're installing this Fedora RPM on? Fedora RPMs are built against newer versions of middleware and libraries than CentOS in most cases.

On a CentOS 6 machine of mine:

$ rpm -qp --conflicts /tmp/libdb-5.3.21-3.fc18.x86_64.rpm
filesystem < 3

$ rpm -qa | grep filesystem
filesystem-2.4.30-3.el6.x86_64

I found the spec file and there is an explicit conflict for the package filesystem on versions less than 3.0.

Also, that RPM has a requirement of GLIBC higher than what you are probably running.

$ rpm -qa | grep glibc
glibc-2.12-1.80.el6_3.6.x86_64

RPM, which yum uses, doesn't look at the filesystem. It looks at the rpmdb. The same rpmdb that doesn't contain that dependency.
