Looks like you somehow installed two versions of glibc.  You have to
either remove one, the .90 version probably, or instead of using -U, use
-i.

-U is upgrade, and upgrade tries to remove all other versions of the rpm
after installing the new one.  -i will (usually) happily install
duplicate versions of rpms.  It should only complain if the two rpms
want to own the same filenames.
