You have two packages that actually conflict with each other (have files 
with the same names in the same locations).  This happens rarely with RPM, 
but it does happen.  If using RPM from the command line, use:

	RPM -Uvh --replacefiles <package>

You will then have the files in question from the package you installed 
last.  If that is not satisfactory, do it again with the other package:

	RPM -Uvh --replacefiles --force <package>

NOTE: reinstalling a package that is already installed is the ONLY time 
that I recommend using the: "--force" option unless you are VERY sure that 
you know what you are doing.
