Oh no, you've messed up your installation further. ;) Erasing the _older_
glibc made no sense, since you want to update from the older i686/x86_64
pair of packages to the newer glibc builds.

Instead, you should have added the -2 builds of glibc-common, glibc-headers
and glibc-devel to the --justdb erase command.

Now it has become much harder to help. What I would try now is to erase 
also the -1 glibc i686 packages (again with --justdb ...) and also any
glibc-* subpackages for i686 which are still installed (rpm -qa glibc\*).
Then "yum install glibc.i686" which should pull in the -2 build matching
your installed -2 x86_64 pkg. You are on x86_64, so temporarily erasing
the i686 pkg from the RPM database is much more harmless than playing 
with x86_64 pkgs.
