Assuming that you're trying to install a Cooker package, this problem would be
because Cooker uses GLIBC 2.2.3, whereas Mandrake 8.0 uses 2.2.2. You have
several options here:
1. You can upgrade your GLIBC. The best way to do this would be to install
Mandrake Freq3.
2. Better yet, wait for Mandrake 8.1, which is due early next week.
3. Compile PAN from source. You can get the Cooker SRPM and issue a "rpm
--rebuild" to it.
4. Get a binary package from elsewhere (e.g. Red Hat or Ximian packages).
5. Install Ximian GNOME.
I took option 5, because I am a GNOME user as well.
