You need to install both glibc-doc and glibc-doc-reference, as glibc- doc-reference tries to overwrite the file /usr/share/doc-base/glibc- manual which is installed by glibc-doc. So whichever comes first will install without error, breaking installation of the other package. It's probably not really a bug in glibc-doc-reference, but a bug in glibc-doc _and_ glibc-doc-reference.
