Re: Updated gnome-* RPMs

[Michal Palczewski <mpalczew w-link net>]

StarOffice is linked against the internal symbols of glibc 2.0.  They were
warned not to do that but did so any way.  Now star office doesn't work
with glibc 2.1.  It doesn't have to do with bleading edge or anything.
It's just the makers of staroffice acting like dumbasses.
