That's not the same package name that you show below, and I'm skeptical
that there even is a glibc-common*.i686.rpm, but I could be wrong.  ;-)

glibc depends on glibc-common, and their versions must be identical.
Instead of trying to upgrade one or the other, upgrade both at the same
time.

	rpm -Fvh glibc-commong-2.3.2-4.80.8.i386.rpm glibc-2.3.2-4.80.8.i686.rpm

Because glibc needs the exact same version of glibc-common to be
installed.
