In the howto, its states fixes, and they are to make sure that I have at least certain package versions, but the ones it recommends don't even exist anymore. The section is obsolete. Its in the table "fixes". I believe the note to reinstall packages that link statically to these is also fit to be removed. Also, it mentions a problem fixed in 2002, I doubt many are still experiencing this one :-) (glibc) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Thanks for reporting. I've removed some of the obsoleted information from the guide now.
