Removing duplicate RPM packages
Every so often you get a weird RPM situation where the same RPM is installed twice. The solution is to remove both of them, and then reinstall one.
rpm bad-package -e --allmatches

May need to backup libraries first!! I did this with openssl which removed the libcrypt.so(64), amongst others, which totally fouled up yum and left rpm complaining about the lack of the libcrypt.so. No gui thereafter and had to download the rpms via another server and install using rpm with --nodep option.
