There ought to be a way to upgrade using Yum. For x86_64 users it's
bad enough -- worse come to worst you can still wipe the 32-bit stack
and start again -- but the same problem is present on a 32-bit
install.

glibc-2.9.20-2.i386 from installed has depsolving problems
  --> Missing dependency: glibc-common = 2.9.90-2 ...
