I've ran into some big issues on one of my home systems after "yum
remove glibc.i686" where some programs (gnome-terminal for instance)
would segfault somewhere in gconv functions/libraries. It was "fixed" by
upgrading all the glibc* packages to the Rawhide versions, which
reinstalled all the docs and locales fine, and I've never been able to
reproduce it. But evil is lurking... ;-)
