Because I have mysql dealing with a db whose files are >2gig I've
installed linux 2.4.2 on the box and recompiled glibc for it (before
compiling mysql). This is to make sure tha tmysql would have as
happier an environment as possible for 64bit file sizes.
The glibc compile was done with apt-get -b source libc6
and then I did dpkg --install libc6 libc6-dev libc6-dec (or words
to that effect ;)
Now the time has come that a new glibc is out there and so I did the same
deal.
apt-get -b source libc6
dpkg --install libc6_2.1.3-18_i386.deb libc6-dev_2.1.3-18_i386.deb
locales_2.1.3-18_i386.deb
dpkg --install glibc-doc_2.1.3-18_all.deb
All's well so far.
Then I do my apt-get dist-upgrade hoping that the rest of the utilities
will be uploaded nicely and glibc will (obviously) be left alone as the
version installed is the same as that it would want to d/l but...
