e2fsprogs update fails.

When I try and update this package I get

[('file /lib/libblkid.so.1.0 from install of e2fsprogs-libs-1.39-7.fc6 conflicts with file from package e2fsprogs-1.38-0.FC4.1', (7, '/lib/libblkid.so.1.0', 0L)), ('file /lib/libcom_err.so.2.1 from install of

Is there a "proper way" to proceed?  Do I uninstall version 1.38-0.FC4.1 and then reinstall the new version?  Since I have no idea what might break under such a process I thought I'd see if anybody else has tried it.
