I want to install an older glibc from SuSE 9.0 into my SuSE 9.1. Here is the command line I think will keep it from screwing up my current system:
rpm -ivvvh --test --relocate /etc=/opt/lib --relocate /lib=/opt/lib --relocate /sbin=/opt/lib --relocate /usr=/opt/lib --badreloc --oldpackage --noscripts /home/dhurst/SuSE_rpms/glibc-2.3.2-92.i586.rpm
What I want is for it to install all the files in the rpm into /opt/lib. I don't see how to extract just the single file I want out of the rpm. Any problems with what I want to do? I don't want the rpm to do symlinks in my regular system files either.
