Do an rpm query like this:
rpm -q gpg-pubkey
This will show two version of this app. Uninstall the older version like 
this:
rpm -ev gpg-pubkey-xxxxxx.
You can uninstall versions of an rpm with the "v" switch.
If you have multiple duplicates please see an earlier thread where 
someone discribed a script to remove the duplicates with apt-get.
