Got a question.  

We're currently running SLES8 SP3 with glibc 2.2.5.

I was APPLY CHECKing, er, running rpm -Uh --test on mysql-4.0.18 and 
mysql-client.  Several dependencies were indicated, including
libc.so.6 (GLIBC_2.3) needed for mysql-4.0.18.  I then did a rpm -Uh --test on 
glibc-2.3.3-98.  I received an error:failed dependencies with a 
list of products (like rpm, susewm, kdebase3, webalizer) that needed libdb.so.2 
(GLIBC_2.0).

So, actually, a few questions. 

What is the approriate thing to do here?  

        Install glibc 2.3.3 and then re-install the products called out for 
libdb.so.2 and other GLIBC_2.0 dependencies?  

        Install glibc 2.3.3 and install higher versions of the products called 
out for libdb.so.2?  

        Is it better just to do a forced march to SLES9?  

Finally, is there a doc or HOWTO that talks about the sort of dependencies and 
issues between glibc versions and products that use them?

Thanks

Dave Froberg
