The classic circular dependency issue. I thought yum handled this

The fix is to install the common bit with the "--nodeps" option to rpm,
THEN install the regular glibc bits:
rpm -Fvh --nodeps glibc-common*.rpm
rpm -Fvh glibc*.rpm
Works for me.
Yum -does- appear to handle this better. The problem seems to be that
the original poster's up2date didn't pick up glibc-common as needing to
be updated, and he didn't specify it explicitly. Compare with the
following:

I will do the following:
[update: nscd 2.3.2-101.4.i386]
[update: glibc-devel 2.3.2-101.4.i386]
[update: glibc-common 2.3.2-101.4.i386]
[update: glibc 2.3.2-101.4.i686]
[update: glibc-headers 2.3.2-101.4.i386]
Is this ok [y/N]: y

Ah! You're right. I didn't notice the missing dependency.
I just did an update against kernel.org's mirror and it handled it
nicely. Ok, yum's vindicated. It is I who's broken!
