That's pretty ugly. :-)

Is this perchance a multi-arch system?  On x86_64:

[root at wx1 ~]# rpm -q libwpd-devel
package libwpd-devel is not installed
[root at wx1 ~]# rpm -q libwpd
libwpd-0.8.7-3.el5.x86_64
[root at wx1 ~]# yum install libwpd-devel
...
[root at wx1 ~]# rpm -q libwpd libwpd-devel
libwpd-0.8.7-3.el5.x86_64
libwpd-0.8.7-3.el5.i386
libwpd-devel-0.8.7-3.el5.x86_64
libwpd-devel-0.8.7-3.el5.i386

Sounds more like a yum problem than one with the RPM database.
