glibc and RedHat 8.0

[Net Llama!]

Especially notable are these two:
The following packages have been deprecated and will be removed in a
    future release of Red Hat Linux:

      o LPRng (although it remains the default print spooler for this 
release)

      o lilo

      o sndconfig

o RPM will also suggest package(s) that will satisfy unresolved
        dependencies if the rpmdb-redhat package is installed. For 
example, if
        you are attempting to upgrade the gnumeric without a necessary
        library, you will see the following message:

        rpm -Uvh gnumeric-1.0.5-5.i386.rpm

        error: Failed dependencies:

        libbonobo-print.so.2 is needed by gnumeric-1.0.5-5

        libbonobo.so.2 is needed by gnumeric-1.0.5-5

        libbonobox.so.2 is needed by gnumeric-1.0.5-5

        Suggested resolutions:

        bonobo-1.0.20-3.i386.rpm

        The above mechanism is equivalent to (and will replace) the existing
        --redhatprovides mechanism.
