I've found that the install wasn't sane. I tried to remove dbus-qt and
had back that it referred to multiple packages. When I checked using rpm

happened with a number of packages.
    

For a while now, the default way that yum works is that if you don't
specify an arch on a multi-arch system, all available arches are
installed.  So if you simply did 'yum install xmms' it will install
xmms.i386 and xmms.x86_64 as well as the depchain for both.  If you
wished to only have the 64bit version, yum install xmms.x86_64.   It
pays to pay attention to the yum output and make sure it is doing what
you want.  -y leads to discoveries later of 'how the heck did that
happen?'.
  
  

Actually I had this issue also and was two of the same package (same arch and all) one was the older version that was supposed to be removed.  Also, reading through this list I see that several people had the same issue.  Perhaps there was a rawhide update that caused yum not to complete the update process thus never getting to the clean: stage.
