I just did my normal yum update routine and found several problems flagged 
as below:

[root at Fedora-12 Desktop]# yum update
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
** Found 1 pre-existing rpmdb problem(s), 'yum check' output follows:
tigervnc-server-1.0.1-3.fc12.i686 is a duplicate with 
tigervnc-server-1.0.0-3.fc12.i686
[root at Fedora-12 Desktop]#

Doing a "yum clean all" and "rpm --rebuilddb" did not fix the rpm database 
problem either.
