DST & upgrade glibc-common problems

Hi experts

I met some problems need your helps:
My company's Linux OS is RedHat Linux ES 3. when i did the "DST 2007 change" task according as the steps of http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_80_7909.shtm, i met some problems.
1. When I wanna upgrade glibc-common to latest version glibc-common-2.3.2-95.44 (DST need .40 or greater), system warning install glicb-common conflict with old version, i try rpm -f -i to force install it's ok, but is it the right way for upgrade glibc-common or there is another way?
2. How to test the DST change?

thank you very much.

When you update glibc-common, you'll need to update any other glibc-* packages you have at the same time, as they all rely upon each other.

Hi Stuart

Thank you very much for your reply.
I have some question:
1. In redhat.com http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_80_7909.shtm, they said only upgrade glibc-common could solve DST change problems.

2. In our system have glibc-common-2.3.2 and glibc-2.3.2, you mean I should update both of them in the same time? ok, I could download latest glibc-2.3.2's rpm, but my quesition was when I rpm install glibc-common, system warning conflict with old version. whether I install the glibc-2.3.2 first and install glibc-common later, up conflict warning will not appear?
thanks a lot
