I just loaded CentOS 5 on a new x86_64 machine I built for my wife. I am converting her from the dark $ide. :-)
I started getting the following messages from yum:

###################################### It appears I have a package installed twice. I tried the normal "rpm is damaged" sequence of:
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db* db_verify /var/lib/rpm/Packages rpm --rebuilddb
But that did not help the situation. Are there any suggestions on how to get rid of this one piece and get past this error? I tried a -f on the rpm -e and it failed the same way.

Do you have the rpmforge repo enabled? That could be causing some of your difficulties.

Indeed I do, as suggested in the wiki. Since this box is for my wife, packages for mp3 and wmv files were important.
Bob Styma
It is usually safer to add the outside repos disabled, and install extras with the --enablerepo command.

We also have "yum-priorities" plugin (named "yum-plugin-priorities" on CentOS-4) that will prevent updates from 3rd Party repos to anything with a higher priority.

Just tried
yum remove subversion
and it got rid of both copies. Turns out one was i386 and one was x86_64.
Ran yum update and no updates were needed. There were no complaints from the yum remove about dependencies, so, I hope I am OK.

'rpm -q --qf '%{NAME} %{ARCH}\n' subversion will show that you have i386 and x86_64 packages installed, which is normal. The rpmforge repo seems to only have the x86_64 version, leaving the newer x86_64 package to conflict with the older i386 package.
Options: 1) Disable rpmforge 2) Exclude subversion from rpmforge .repo 3) 'rpm -e --allmatches subversion; yum install subversion'
