Please don't use --force (or --nodeps) or advise anyone else to do so -
it can lead to screwed-up systems - as it's hardly ever necessary. The
--oldpackage option would be a better choice in this case.
Haven't noticed any glibc problems myself since updating but that's not
to say such problems aren't there.
