What do you see when you run "yum list libuuid"?

What do you see when you run "yum list mesa-libGLU"?

These packages are supposed to be in sync _in_ the x86_64 repository _and_
in your installation.

In other words, if libuuid-2.17.2-9.fc13.x86_64 is installed already
(according to one message you quoted), the corresponding
libuuid-2.17.2-9.fc13.i686 is found in exactly the same repository.

What can happen, though, is that temporarily you are assigned to a mirror
repository that offers older packages. Then, if your installation is
x86_64 only, there would be problems in adding non-matching i686 packages.

That's why it is important to run some yum/rpm/repoquery queries and examine
the current state of your installation _and_ the used repositories before
one can decide why you encounter problems.
