Is this a new feature or a bug? Shouldn't this update also glibc?
$ sudo yum update glibc-common Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Update Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package glibc-common.i386 0:2.5.90-21 set to be updated Checking deps for glibc-common.i386 0-2.5.90-21 - u Checking deps for glibc-common.i386 0-2.5.90-20 - None --> Processing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.5.90-20 for package: glibc Error: No Package Matching glibc.i686
On the contrary, yum update glibc and glibc.i686 work just fine:

Haven't found that earlier. It's quite different though, since it is a full "yum update".
If I got that error for a full yum update, I wouldn't ask whether it's a bug, since it would a bug for sure. ;)
I get the error for an explicit "yum update glibc-common", where yum doesn't suggest updating the dependencies. That's suspicious.
I had this problem after upgrading from fc6. I had to manually remove the old fc6 glibc packages using something like yum remove glibc-2.5-10.fc6
after doing yum list | grep glibc to find out their actual names.
I could then do a yum update glibc and it worked.
I was then able to correctly update my whole system.
