What happened?

I am attempting to download and use the miniconda installer scripts recently on Linux OSs of RHEL6.10. The installer itself is requiring a newer GLIBC than exists on the platform. This used to work on RHEL6.10. I thought I could find the previous installers but they are missing. All of the ones at https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html#linux-installers no longer install and fail. looking at the ldd output shows:

conda.exe: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found (required by /tmp/install/conda.testing/RedHatEnterpriseWorkstation.6.10.miniconda/conda.exe)
