The i586 ones were installed for nswrapper, so I can use the 32-bit Adobe Flash plugin. All were language packs and I guess that the architecture is irrelevant so the identical files appear in both packages. Package-updater and yum both object to updating one without the other but one has to go first... I got round the problem by doing "yum update --tolerant". No problems evident so far.
