Well, those few components would need to be rebuilt against YDL 1.2.1
(db3, rpm, glibc).
Once that's done, things should happen as expected.

With YDL 2.2, I think we should be able to at least be putting out
YDL 2.2, 2.1/.0 updates. Going back to 1.2.1 might be hard just
because there would be quite a bit of catchup.
