Hi,
I am not sure why you are seeing the .fc6 extensions I currently see
[root at tempest ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i glib2
glib2-2.12.3-4.el5_3.1.x86_64
glib2-2.12.3-4.el5_3.1.i386
You are seeing the listing twice because one is the 32 bit version and
the other is the 64 Bit version. By default on 64 Bit machines rpm does
not use a query format that shows the arch tag
If you want to be clear about with version of a package you are looking
at create /etc/rpm/macros
with an entry like
%_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch}
Of course you can use any valid query format you like.
I hope this helps :) I would also recommend you cat
/etc/redhat-release and see that it looks like
CentOS release 5.3 (Final)
