I've gotten burned while removing duplicates in the past.
The safest way that I came up with is to simply run "yum reinstall
<package>" for each package that has duplicates. This will make sure
that none of the newer package's files get removed, while the old one is
cleaned up properly. It also installs all necessary dependencies, so you
don't need to worry about that.
Right now, I'm running package-cleanup --problems and checking to see
if the top item on the list is a dupe. So far, each one is and I nuke
the fc14 version. Lather, rise, repeat. One odd thing, though: it
keeps listing the fc14 version of rss-glx-xscreensaver as a problem,
even after I've nuked it. And, I never use -y so that I can examine
what's going to be removed Just In Case...
In my case it wasn't about the wrong version being removed, it was a
matter of removing a file that belonged to both versions at the same
time (the reason why I had dupes was because an update/upgrade didn't
finish, so old versions weren't cleaned up). Normally yum/rpm won't let
you install a package that owns a file that's already owned...
