Re: [SLUG] Heads up on SuSE Glibc update

Are you sure it's not both glibc 2.1 and glibc 2.2? Most distros have
both (as well as libc 5 for that matter) hanging around so that older
packages can continue to run after a libc upgrade.

Otherwise, you *might* have a corrupted RPM database. I'm very hesitant
to suggest "rpm --rebuilddb" to fix it... BEWARE, THAR BE DRAGONS HERE!
