Here's the error from my (32-bit) system, which has *only* i386
glibc{,-devel,-common,-headers} installed:

Error: Missing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.9.90-3 is needed by package
glibc-2.9.90-3.i386 (installed)

It looks like yum isn't considering glibc-common-2.9.90-7.i586 as a
potential provider of glibc-common for the upgrade transaction.. or
something? Depsolving makes my head hurt. Full log is attached.
