I still get this error several times a week, and I still have no idea
what it means or how I'm supposed to respond to it (other than
fiddling randomly with packages until it goes away).

The latest one:

# yum install /usr/sbin/libvirtd
[... yum spew deleted ...]
Error: Protected multilib versions: libvirt-client-0.9.10-2.fc17.i686 != 
libvirt-client-0.9.10-3.fc17.x86_64

$ rpm -qa | grep libvirt-client
libvirt-client-0.9.10-3.fc17.x86_64

What does the error mean?

You can get this when a package wants the older version of (in this case) libvirt-client and tries to pull in the i686 version to resolve the dependency when it doesn't specify a particular arch.
