Simply installing glib2, as suggested, won't work.

The package has a specific rpm requirement for the package named
glib.

In a nutshell, if you want to keep your CentOS whole, you can't
do it without rebuilding the package you want to install.

You can, of course, use "--nodeps" when installing the rpm, but
that will leave your system inconsistent. Some people don't mind.
I do.

And never, EVER use "--force".
