It looks as though you're trying to install RPMs from SLES9 on a SLES8 system. Don't do that. If you need packages that are at the version levels in SLES9, then upgrade to SLES9. Trying to do otherwise will eventually result in just about the same thing, but with a whole lot more time spent (wasted), and greatly increased stress levels.
I should note that this advice is based on an assumption that you want to stay supported by SUSE. If that's not the case, then download the source files for MySQL and build your own RPM. That'll get you where you need to be a whole lot faster and easier.

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?
