Hi Graham, just assuming you mean 2.26 & 2.27 ...

http://rpm.pbone.net/info_idpl_55698432_...4.rpm.html

Take it from there. Shouldn't be too crazy on deps. But ...

I'm a little worried about the "as far as I can tell" - why would you not know for sure? (Leap 15.2 also has glibc 2.26 per the release - they are rather slow)

I downloaded the glibc 2.7 rpm and tried to install it but it gave me some dangerous looking warnings that scared me enough that I didn't proceed with it. I could try it again and copy the warnings here if you think you could help me with it. I don't know enough about this subject to be able to predict the consequences.
Thank you for responding.

Again, assuming you mean 2.27 ??!!

How 'scary' can Linux get?

Here is the scary bit
And yes I mean 2.27 my apologies for the typo.

Nothing scary there ... .
Since you're playing with internet/p2p/audio-sw on the box, I assume it's not a heavily involved production environment(?)

Of course I don't know how actively your Suse box is involved in 'controlling' your network environment (running NIS/LDAP?), but many can do without Name Service Caching just fine. If you don't know, just manually stop the service and see what gives ... . (is it even running?)
Apart from that, did you try to resolve the issue with a newer version of nscd? (might you indeed need it on that box)
E.g. Leap 15.2 has a newer version of that package.

Are you comfortable enough in Linux to go beyond 'clicking in the GUI?'

Anything 'alarming' in the "141 more..." ?
