Do an 'rpm -q packagename' for some or all of the packages in question
to see if you have duplicates installed (or rpm thinks you do). I had
this happen on one machine where yum crashed during the 5.3 upgrade and
there really were many duplicates left in the rpm database and
yum-complete-transaction did the right thing in removing them, even
though it was bit scary to do remotely.
