OK, this looks like a packaging error, if glibc is supposed to be
multi-lib, they should co-exist.  They do on my system.  I have both
installed.  No magic on my part.   (F11.x86_64)

Where is the glibc-common-2.10.1-4.i586 coming from?????

And there.

Nine output is different than yours:

<output>
# yum deplist glibc-2.10.1-4.i686 | grep glibc-common
  dependency: glibc-common = 2.10.1-4
   provider: glibc-common.x86_64 2.10.1-4
</output>

Something is still wrong.

I'm not sure it happened upstream....  But, I don't know enough about
yum to comment further....
