Well, it appears I can't install anymore software.  I just now tried to 
install gcc.  I get the message:

patch:glibc-1678.noarch has missing dependencies
There are no alternative installed providers of glibc-devel == 2.4.31 
for patch:glibc-1678-0.noarch
conflict resolution
keep glibc-devel
delete glibc
ignore this requirement just here


If I choose to keep glibc-devel, it says:

This would invalidate atom:glibc-devel...

So it appears that glibc was updated but now I can't locate a compatible 
glibc-devel.

I guess this all gets back to the issue that I can't add any new 
installation sources.

This is really getting to be a pain in the ....
