Your going to break a lot if you just upgrade 5.2 to glibc2.1 (and don't
compensate for the upgrade by upgrading the packages that rely on 2.0 glib).
When I updated my system a LOT of things broke, admin tools, etc.
I didn't even bother trying to salvage it. I just reinstalled over it. Now I"m
running 6.1 and everything seems cosher.
