Thank you very much for your response.
But I'm afraid I'm not clear what action I can take.
I don't like to remove any glibc or glibc-common packages,
as I'm afraid it might have a disastrous effect,
since they seem to be required by so many other packages,
including the kernel.
I'm slightly puzzled how the system got in this position,
as I have never said anything except "yum upgrade",
and the repos I have enabled all seem harmless,
though there are several of them:
[adobe-linux-x86_64, CentOS-CR (cr), epel, kbs-CentOS-Extras, rpmforge.
The system (which is in another country) seems to be running fine.
If I leave it will it sort itself out in time?
