Please, remove this particular rpm - nagios-plugins-udp was merged
into nagios-plugins-tcp since 1.4.15-2 (with proper 'provides' added
to nagios-plugins-tcp).

I'm investigating this issue. Frankly speaking I'm confused -
application builds fine, but rpm complaints about missing runtime
requirement (GLIBC private symbols). If it is not allowed to link
against them, then why not to throw error at compile time? More
surprising is that this issue exists only on x86_64 arch.

Actually, I would really appreciate if someone will write a short
howto how to resolve and/or prevent such issues.
