Those are not duplicates - RPM supports the installation of side-by-side
'multilib' packages, for backward compatibility with 32-bit programs.
Important things such as OpenOffice and HelixPlayer are still 32-bit
only, and some people choose to run 32-bit browsers for better plugin
supports.
To uninstall the 32-bit zlib, for example, you can just rpm -e
zlib.i386 ..
Hope that helps, and by the way, this is probably more appropriate on
fedora-list.
