That most likely means that for some inscrutable reasons you
installed gimp for both x86_64 and i386 and now you attempt to
update only one of those packages.  If this is really the case
then yum is absolutely correct - you have a file conflict
and, no, these are not duplicates.

In situations like those both packages have to be updated in a one
transaction, or you will see what you are seeing, but why do
you need both variants of gimp installed in the first place?
Anything which _really_ prevents you from 'yum remove gimp.i386'?
