RE: Cannot overwrite libc-2.2.5.so
Ok, so let me get this straight...
You're saying that I must rename/delete the old one before attempting to
move or copy the new one from another location? Maybe I'm not getting
something but can you explain how deleting/renaming the old one first
makes any difference?
Thanks for the help.

what exactly halts? nearly all packaged use libc-2.2.5.so, have it
loaded from memory and if you change it, calls to it hang. Do not wonder
if every running program crashes then...
you need to delete/rename the library, or move new one over the old one
(probably the most secure). This will not touch the existing file and no
programs should crash. You can only expect problems if the new version
of library you installed is broken.
