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..." ?

I stopped nscd without any noticeable difference. The 141 more seem to include an awful lot of my development related things for graphics and audio like Magick++ , alsa and ancillary things like xml. I write c++ software for audio, MIDI and photographic applications and I don't want to break those.
Here is the full list
