Was that update-glibc-first thing really necessary? I did see the update
announcement, but long after I actually issued a simple "yum update" on my
server, and everything went smoothly. I did not see any problem.
So was updating glibc separately just a precaution measure, or was I just
lucky not to run into issues?
P.S. Sorry to jump in the thread...
