Ryan,
	You are barking up the wrong tree.  Your problem is
glibc-common.i586.  Something is trying to install this package and it
conflicts with your currently installed glibc-common.i686.
You need to track down where that dependency is coming from and deal
with it.

	I find when dealing with wrong architecture RPMs, that using yum in
SHELL mode is much better then dealing with separate command lines as I
can do a remove *and* and install in one transaction and have better
control over it.

Possibly, but we need to know what is causing it first.  i586/i686 are
not meant to be multilib (like x86_64/i686 is).
