Yes - I realized I forgot to say what the real issue was. It was the
same conflict you mentioned. Funnily enough, your solution is exactly
what I did last night!

Thanks again,

Kevin

It is actually normal to have both architectures installed.

# rpm -qf `which package-cleanup`
yum-utils-1.1.16-14.el5.centos.1

You don't actually say what the problem was that happened when you tried

to yum update it. There was a conflict the other day with Centos 
packaging of the i386 version on x86_64 which had my yum update spit out

pages of errors about it, trying to install the x86_64 version and 
complaining that it conflicted with files owned by the i386 version. The

solution for me was to rpm -e perl.i386 then run yum update again.
