[cobalt-users] RaQ3/4 + glibc Update Problem?

[Barbara <thebizworkers@xxxxxxxxx>]

Greets,

Did anyone install the glibc update on a RaQ3 and recv
error messages from cron.weekly today?

It looks like there's maybe two separate issues with
the new glibc update (maybe not); 

A) an install issue for some users 
B) a serious memory leak problem.

Dear Tom Worley off the uk2raq maillist experienced
the same install issue I and a few others had, and he
suggested to rebuild the rpm database which then
allows you to manually install the devel RPM that
wouldn't previously go in:

rpm --rebuilddb

But the memory leak is more scary - and anyone
considering the install of this update may want to
consider it twice... esp, if you're running MySQL
and/or ChiliSoft (I'm not).. I just found this post on
the security list regarding suspected memory
allocation problems with the glibc update:

RaQ3/4 + glibc Update (+ ChiliSoft) + MySQL = Problem 

http://list.cobalt.com/pipermail/cobalt-security/2002-March/004851.html

I installed the patch/update (no MySQL or Chili on my
box) and this morning I woke to a laundry list from
cron.weekly. So just F.Y.I if you're considering it
and feel up to a little BETA testing...
