Description of problem: I installed updates via yum to FC4 and after that I noticed that libraries were changed, because I couldn't even use ls command. I upgraded to FC5 and this fixed the libraries, but few important program doesn't work anymore. I found this problem by some error messages containing shared libraries file or directory not found. Only missing library seems to be libc_2.0 from libc- 2.4.so. I can find that missing piece from old libc.so.6, but when I remove the soft link libc.so.6 and replace that with the old libc.so.6 everything breaks apart. Ofcourse these libraries aren't compatible by just copying. I would like to know how could I import the missing glibc_2.0 support or get a patch which would do it for me. I wonder why old libraries are modified on FC4 update, giving frustrating work. Including this glibc_2.0 support would fix the broken softwares. I don't have or can't get the source codes to these broken softwares anywhere. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libc-2.4.so and libc.so.6 How reproducible: Everytime. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Just install FC5 and the library is missing... 2. 3. Actual results: Error while loading shared libraries, No such file or directory (missing glibc_2.0) Expected results: Additional info:

Please read FC5 release notes, LinuxThreads support has been deprecated for 3 years and has been removed in FC5, won't ever come again. Programs linked against glibc 2.0 will only work if they don't reference errno or h_errno variables. If you really need to run software built against glibc 2.0 (i.e. something the vendors haven't bothered to rebuild during last 8 years), then you either need to stay with older distributions, or install those distros in a chroot and run the broken software there.
