You have both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of libvirt-client-0.9.10-2.fc17 installed. Your yum update command is trying to pull in the libvirt-client-0.9.10-3.fc17 and is only finding the x86_64 version in your yum repos. Either you manually installed a 32bit RPM that was not via the yum repos, or your yum repos have lost the 32-bit RPMs, or perhaps you have blacklisted 32-bit RPMs in your yum conf.
