You need to update glibc and glibc-common together on the same command
line.  When you try to upgrade glibc-common to glibc-common-2.3.2-4.80.8
it has to remove glibc-common = 2.3.2-4.80.6 but it can't because 
glibc-2.3.2-4.80.6 requires that specific version of glibc-common:
2.3.2-4.80.6. 

You may have to upgrade other components as well within the same
transaction, if they are replacing versions that had dependencies on the 
old glibc.
