Two versions of librsvg is but one of my problem duplications. I also have a double apt, various openoffice modulues, greo, evolution, yelp, seamonkey, and on and on. I'm just about out of patience with using yum remove <app name> (though that is working once the location is known; apt-get is hopeless because of the double, I assume). I'll probably just scrub the HD and reinstall FC6.
