problems when upgrading glibc (if libnsl is installed)

libnsl: /usr/include/rpcsvc/ypupd.h exists in filesystem
libnsl: /usr/lib/libnsl.so exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

I managed to fix the issue by first uninstalling libnsl, then upgrading glibc, then reinstalling packages
which were depending on libnsl.

The problem persists when trying to reinstall libnsl, this could be a problem from upstream.
I can reproduce conflicts between libnsl and glibc also on a 64-bit machine.

Upstream works. First upgrading glibc, then the rest worked.
