That there are duplicate package versions installed :)

   # rpm -qa | grep xxxxxxxx

and you should see those two (or maybe more) packages. If you want those
packages to be there, then add them to the /etc/grab/config:'duplicate
packages =' declaration.

If you don't want multiple versions of these package installed, you will need 
to fix that by hand (and pray to Mr. Ewing and Johnson :) by removing the 
package that you don't want. If you have a LOT of them, then chances are 
someone did not upgrade the packages or system properly, or reinstalled a 
newer version of Linux without reformatting the partitions.
