apt

I have a static version of wkhtmltopdf which requires glibc-2.4

wkhtmltopdf: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by wkhtmltopdf)

I have apt installed with the DAG repos. Other than that the server is pretty stock standard except for Coldfusion MX7.

My question is, is it safe to just "apt update glibc"? Will the updated glibc clobber the old one or will they co-exist? Should I "apt upgrade" the whole server?

I'm pretty sure everything else (Apache2, Postgres8, etc) will handle the upgrade but Coldfusion concerns me due to its proprietry nature.
