I could start by rm *2.3.2*so* in /lib.

Then run ldconfig to relink things?

I made such a mess trying to uninstall SW81 glibc once that I had to start 
over from scratch, but this time I can simply copy over from another 
computer.

How about with BL2?  We just found another of those printers that needs 
gimp-print and a driver that comes with SW10.2.  I suppose I could try and 
then undo both upgrades at the same time.

BL3 is still using glibc 2.2.5.
