I got this Error Message

glibc-common-2.13.90-11.x86_64 requires glibc = 2.13.90-11 : result - Empty Transaction

I am not able to solve the problem, tried a few things but no solution, can anyone help?

Greetings Commander

Which are you using i686, x86_64 or both - it's a little unclear?
What do you get with:

yum list glibc*

The output of the command above should show what you have installed and what's available.

yum list glibc*

I'm not quite sure how, but the version you have installed from updates-testing looks older than the version in updates!

Very strange... ok, next try the following as root:

rpm -qa glibc*

The packages we're interested in our likely to be:

glibc-2.13.90-11.i686
glibc-common-2.13.90-11.x86_64

Try:

yum remove glibc-common-2.13.90-11.x86_64

and if that seems to work:

yum remove glibc-2.13.90-11.i686

[Commander]

Try:

yum remove glibc-common-2.13.90-11.x86_64

Is this ok [y/N]:

[HeWhoWatches]

Hmmm, ok not unexpected - how about:

yum reinstall glibc-common.x86_64

(unlikely)

yum downgrade glibc-common.x86_64

(possible, but again suspect not)

rpm -e --nodeps glibc-common-2.13.90-11.x86_64

(maybe)

Maybe someone has an Idea
