Thanks for pointing this out, it looks like they removed the newer GLIBCXX requirement that was added for 8.10, possibly due to popular demand?
Maybe. Unpacking the rpm works, anyway, I never encountered a single binary issue since I use it like that (ordinary use, I probably don't use that text encoding or whatever submodule which depends on a newer libstdc++).
Please explain "Unpacking the RPM". How is one to do that when there are broken dependencies?
Easy. rpm2cpio /path/to/whatever.rpm | cpio -idm
Probably best to do that in a temporary directory and see what you get. See the cpio manpage for other options.
