8 FYI - quickpkg is your friend in these kinds of situations. You can
9 then back out pretty quickly. However, if you start merging packages
10 left and right after a glibc upgrade be VERY careful about downgrading
11 your glibc - that can very easily break things. If glibc is the only
12 thing that you've upgraded I suspect a downgrade would go ok.
