You would have to recompile EVERYTHING. Replacing glibc is major
surgery.
It's best to just upgrade to a newer distro.
I found this out the hard way. Using debian, dselect is a
large-caliber gun aimed directly at the foot of the user,
who just wants to install some innocent package.
Fortunately, enlightened users know about apt-get, so that
if you know how to use the command line, you can just add
the --force argument and shoot your foot with equal
efficiency.
But then freedom is what enables backhoe drivers to work
near the edges of ravines. How could we live without it?
