I have a similar issue with only one version of nspluginwrapper
installed.
	# rpm -qa | grep nspluginwrapper
nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.5-21.el5
I do appear to have two identical firefox packages installed.
	# rpm -qa | grep firefox
firefox-3.0-0.beta5.6.el5.centos
firefox-3.0-0.beta5.6.el5.centos

One is 32 bit, other 64 bit with identical package names.  How to remove
unwanted package?
	# rpm -qa | grep nspluginwrapper
nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.5-21.el5
[root at office bmcclure]# yum list firefox
