Oracle VM Server 2.2.1 - can't install gcc

Question

I have an error :
[root@SRV-OVM-001 /]# yum install gcc

Error: Missing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.5-49 is needed by package glibc-2.5-49.i686 (el5_u5_base)
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va nofiles nodigest
But if y try to remove package package glibc-2.5-49.i686 (I'm i386x64), it tells me that it will remove 214 packages !
So I answered no ..
What shall I do ?

Still have same issued with glibc (for your memory, initial thread target was to solve this issue wich caused issue on glibc) :

rpm -Va nofiles nodigest
so it keeps on targeting a glibc-2.5-49.i686 while I'm on x86_64
My yum.repos.d/public-yum-el5.repo is :

And I'm on EL5_7.
Any more idea ?
