I would be surprised if it really commented on this particular
issue. A missing shared library (GLib even) is unlikely to become
a Yum FAQ.

What have you done to examine this problem?
Do you have libglib-2.0.so.0 anywhere on your system?
Do you have it in your RPM database, at least?
If not, which version of GLib is installed currently?
Which version of GLib is available in the repositories?
