I'm pretty sure that yum update was run from the local console. Probably

I also has the same problem, although I don't bother with it just simple 
remove the older version by hand.
the strange thing that I only use yum, so there has to be a moment when 
yum install the newer version without remove the older (ie. rpm install 
not update), but I assume it just my problem. but this happend exactly 
with the above packages!

I have the same problem. I believe it is because I accidentally
shut down the computer and the installation has not finished yet. As a result,
it seems that every file has a brother/sister! So older version files were not
erased. In the mean time it seems the updated kernel 2.6 does not work better
than the old one 2.4.22, e.g., CD-ROM is not recognized, which maybe due to my 
installation problem. But running yum upgrade does not find any action needed.
However, running the kernel 2.4.22 is fine. Maybe I can use yum correctly next
time, then yum will remove all old versions!
