Getting glibc 2.1.1 deb files
I apologize if this is a question that doesn't require e-mailing the
package maintainer, but I'm up a creek without a paddle.
Right now, I use Staroffice 5.1 for most of my schoolwork and for any
other miscellaneous projects I do. Staroffice 5.1 will not run with the
glibc 2.1.2 pre-release that is currently included in potato.
However, I don't want to stick to using 2.0.7 (which does work with SO5.1)
because a lot of "fun" unstable programs require glibc 2.1.x -- so my
question is, how can I get a .deb package file for glibc 2.1.1, which does
work with Staroffice 5.1? For now, I'm going to upgrade my entire system,
and then downgrade glibc 2.1.2 to glibc 2.1.1 when I can get the .deb
package file. I don't think this will cause any serious problems. If it
will, please tell me.
Thank you for taking the time to deal with something like this.
