...assuming you have a glibc installed, I'd guess you want to rerun rpm --rebuilddb ... but do you have glibc installed?

Comment 3 Robert G. 'Doc' Savage 2011-09-27 22:00:30 UTC
Yes, glibc is installed:
#rpm -qa | grep glibc
glibc-2.12-1.25.el6_1.3.x86_64

Reran rpm --rebuilddb ... Problem persisted until I removed an i686 package that shouldn't have been there:

# yum erase openldap-2.4.23-15.el6_1.1.i686

Then yum update completed normally. OK to close.

Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2011-10-07 16:20:28 UTC
Since RHEL 6.2 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
