The question is, how do I install it, using Yast? Should I install it?
Just manually using rpm.
rpm -e db db-devel glibc-devel
cd where_the_i686_dir_is rpm -Uhv db* glibc-devel-*
Yeah, that's what I did an hour ago:
rpm --nodeps --erase db db-devel glibc-devel rpm --install db-4.2.52-85.i686.rpm db-devel-4.2.52-85.i686.rpm glibc-devel-2.3.3-97.i686.rpm
I don't see any diferences in behaviour, yet.
The difference would be that apps using db would run. I had this problem with subversion.
Apt gets it wrong, and, as you say, YaST too.
Pity.
Have a look at the version numbers: i586/db-4.2.52-85.i586.rpm i686/db-4.2.52-86.i686.rpm i586/db-devel-4.2.52-85.i586.rpm i686/db-devel-4.2.52-86.i686.rpm i586/glibc-2.3.3-98.i586.rpm i686/glibc-2.3.3-93.i686.rpm i586/glibc-devel-2.3.3-98.i586.rpm i686/glibc-devel-2.3.3-97.i686.rpm for db*, i686 has the highest for glibc*, i586 has the highest If the packagemanager throws all i{5,6}86 packages on one pile, they will automatically get mixed up, unless the packagemanager has built-in logic to prevent that (which I doubt).
