Halfway through the install process I kept getting numerous GLIBC not found errors and aborted. On checking the progress I found this:
Installing: glibc-2.9-2.3 [done]
after which I kept getting repeated “version `GLIBC_2.11’ not found” errors.
Now,
zypper throws the same error
yast2 throws the same error
rpm throws the same error
Looking farther back I noticed something very worrying:
The following NEW product is going to be installed:
openSUSE
Did the steps in the blog invariably lead me to installing the wrong version of SuSe and breaking my instance…?

As the article you referenced hints to, SLES11 SP2 is slightly
different when it comes to repositories in that it has oddly
named SP2 repositories plus borrows from SLES11 SP1 - see TID
7010225[1].
However what is concerning is your note about an openSUSE product
being installed. Which repositories do you currently have
configured? Please can you post the output from “zypper lr
-u”.
unfortunately zypper, yast2 and rpm throw the same error:
zypper: /lib/libc.so.6: version GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by /lib/libreadline.so.5) zypper: /lib/libc.so.6: version GLIBC_2.11’ not found (required by /usr/lib/librpm-4.4.so)
zypper: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11’ not found (required by /usr/lib/librpmio-4.4.so)
I have restored an older snapshot and am in the process of moving my folders and configs to the restored instance.
I am still back to square one though. How can I upgrade my instance to a more recent version since the blog instructions cannot really be used? Any repository out there that has an upgrade path…?
