No. You should worry over the consequences.

1. IMV the package is broken; ask HP to fix it. glibc 2.0, 2.1 and
2.2[1] are really really old. I would wonder when the package as built,
where it was tested and whether it has any (security) maintenance.

2. test on a test (or virtual) machine.

[1] Red Hat Linux had glibc 2.2.5. About five years ago.
