hmm.. Mr. Wonder, I think I would conclude that one could not update glibc via rpm... the sanity check error will only go away if I compile and install the glibc-2.2.5 from source couldn't someone confirm this? is it possible to upgrade glibc via rpm? btw, I noticed once-a-while

glibc and RedHat 8.0

RedHat 8.0 apparently comes with glibc-2.2.93. http://www.gnu.org/software/glibc says the latest glibc is 2.2.5. RedHat 7.3 shipped with glibc-2.2.5. Should I care that RedHat is shipping a non-standard glibc (if that's what they're doing)? Regards, Tim
