In your original post, you, perhaps inadvertently, implied that the machine couldn't be taken offline to do a fresh install.
Well --... it "can't" because it would cause me too much grief. I *would* like to get to having a redundant, failover system, but it hasn't been a priority.
Wholesale replacement of basic system libraries will end in utter chaos, as the install system nees the new libraries, and the older software needs the old libraries.

Linda, do yourself a favor, and STOP BEATING YOUR HEAD AGAINST THIS BRICK WALL because it's *not* going to crumble. You cannot replace selected parts of an engine while the entire engine is running. This goes for tightly bound computer systems (in this case, ANYTHING which uses glibc) as much as physical objects. We've explained it to you several different ways. You're just not seeing it. If you are really convinces that we're all wrong, and insist on doing this crazy thing...well, have fun on the job hunt. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
