Conflicts between rpm 4.0 and glibc 2.2.2

This is not really a bug as such, but I thought you might want to
know.  I recently upgraded from rpm 3.0.5 to 4.0 at the same time that
I upgraded from glibc 2.1.3 to 2.2.2.  I upgraded rpm first, then
glibc.  The changes caused by "make install" for glibc caused rpm to
core dump whenever I used it with -i or -U.  I reinstalled rpm, and it
went back to its normal behavior (one can only hope that this hasn't
broken something related to glibc..).

I believe that these two packages are writing over some of the same
files.  One that I was able to locate is
/usr/local/include/libintl.h.  rpm and glibc write very different
versions of this file.  I suspect that some installed libraries may
also clobber each other, although I'm not certain.  You may want to
check into this.

      Cheers,

      Kiri
