It probably means that either the glibc-common-2.2.5-0.19b.ppc.rpm file
was corrupt on the YellowDog Linux mirror site you used, or was somehow
corrupted in the transfer to your system.  You can do a:

	rpm --checksig glibc-common-2.2.5-0.19b.ppc.rpm

which should indicate "MD5 OK" if the RPM was not corrupted.
