Show us more of the output and the full command you entered!
The glibc-common.x86_64 that is installed on your machine is from
updates-testing. The one that Yum tries to pull in is from updates.
Did you forget to enable updates-testing when trying to install qt-devel?

I went down that same route also. I had the fedora-updates.repo enabled so I
decieded to enable the fedora-updates-testing.repo. I do not like to do this
but for the installation of one dependency I was hoping it would not cause a
problem. After enabling the testing repo I was able to resolve the dependency.
I have now disabled the fedora-updates-testing.repo and everything is working
fine.
Thanks for all of the suggestions that finally pushed me in the right direction.
