Ok, so I'm trying to keep my rh6.2 box up to date, and I see that there are new versions of things like fetchmail and pine I'd like to have. But those require libcrypto and libssl, which are apparently in OpenSSL. But OpenSSL requires glibc2.2. But if I try to upgrade to that, I get about a zillion dependency warnings on things that need libdb.so which is apparently in glibc2.0 and 2.1 but not 2.2? Am I understanding this correctly? Having not gone to rh7 yet, I find myself confused over what I can upgrade to and what I can't. For example I tried to use up2date last night (heck, it's in my 6.2 machine) but it complained about things like python-xmlsomething or other, rhnregister, and a bunch of other things that again seemed like they didn't want to install unless I upgraded many other packages. Can somebody tell me what glibc I can and should be (safely) using with rh6.2? If I go to updates.redhat.com or priority.redhat.com will I run into packages that I can't use unless I'm on rh7?
