Has pup screwed up at some point and installed i386 rpms when it should have picked x86_64 ones? Have the repos gotten corrupted at some point? Or is it really legitimate to have two conflicting rpms like this?
Yum, which pup users, will install both the i386 and the x86_64 version of a package if you request to install "package". This ensures that you have a proper environment for running 32 bit software if need be.
If there is a conflict between the i386 and the x86_64 version of a package provided in the x86_64 repository, then there is a bug in said package. If the package is supplied multiarch it must not have any conflicts.
