I've sent parts of this mail already to Erik but got a reply that
he's out of town until mid of January, so I'll forward this to you
and I've added one more problem with "clock" below...
> Use --ignoreos to get rpm-2.3 installed and then things will just work for you.
didn't work; rpm-2.2.5 still complained about "wrong architecture".
so I've extracted/installed rpm-2.3 using rpm2cpio...
next problem was that rpm-2.3 now complained about missing
/var/lib/rpm/conflictsindex.rpm
and using --force it only created an empty file which wasn't ok too.
I tried many different things and on the UDB I somehow managed to get
a valid conflictsindex.rpm (32k size) but I haven't been able to reproduce
this on the XL266, so I copied it.
what's the correct precedure here ?
then I've upgraded to the new packages (not yet rebooted, so there may be
more reports later...;) and found quite a number for weird time stampes
(around June 2000 or December 2016) of files in the following packages
(these are only the installed packages; there may be more with this
problem...)
XFree86-100dpi-fonts-3.2-3
XFree86-3.2-3
XFree86-75dpi-fonts-3.2-3
XFree86-S3-3.2-3
XFree86-devel-3.2-3
XFree86-fonts-3.1.2-11
XFree86-libs-3.2-3
bind-lib-4.9.3-5
binutils-2.7.0.2-4
glibc-0.961212-1
glibc-devel-0.961212-1
glibc-profile-0.961212-1
glibc-static-0.961212-1
quota-1.55-2
setup-1.7-1
tcsh-6.06-9
vim-4.2-8
xloadimage-4.1-6
xterm-color-1.1-3
this is especially nasty for the include files in the *devel* packages
because this will drive "make" nuts :-(
rebooting the machine (UDB166) I got the following error
clock: memory violation at pc=155556c1138 rp=155556b97fc (bad address = 120100000)
every call of "clock" results in this error and that's the reason why
the system date is in year 2016 now (I guess the same happened to the
machine you used to build the packages above ???).
I tried to use an older clock binary; same problem.
running new clock with an older libc-1.93.so instead of libc-1.99.so
fixes this problem...
old lib & clock binary:

also it's a bit nasty that the newer ld.so.1 can't be used with the
older libc-1.93.so because the symbol _nl_domain_bindings isn't defined
in ld.so.1 any longer :-(
# LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libc-1.93.so /sbin/clock -A
/sbin/clock: error in loading shared libraries
/lib/libc-1.93.so: undefined symbol: _nl_domain_bindings
