Greetings:

	I support one older site with a Caldera Linux installation.  I need
to add a JRE for some Java, but I have dependency issues - 5 to be exact.
One of them is a glibc that I suspect is a show stopper.  But as you know,
Caldera is the dreaded SCO Group, and they have dropped any availability of
Linux code from their website.

	I'm not their hardware and O/S vendor, and I can't quickly make the
switch on this older hardware to RHEL, which would be my preference.  So I
was hoping to find these RPM's elsewhere.  This is a 2.2.14 kernel.  My
dependencies are:

        glibc >= 2.1.2-11 is needed by j2re-1.4.2_08-fcs
        sh-utils >= 2.0-1 is needed by j2re-1.4.2_08-fcs
        fileutils >= 4.0-8 is needed by j2re-1.4.2_08-fcs
        gawk >= 3.0.4-1 is needed by j2re-1.4.2_08-fcs
        textutils >= 2.0-2 is needed by j2re-1.4.2_08-fcs

Does anyone know the best way to find them?  I am also not sure of the exact
file name syntax to look for these packages.  Thanks in advance.

No direct answer to your problem, but I would suggest checking out the mail list linux-users at linux-sxs.org. The list was created by a group of Caldera gearheads that got pissed about the way Caldera was managing the distro prior to the SCO debacle. Several of them still use Caldera in some form. List volume is about equal the current redhat-list.
