You have an explicit dependency on 'libpng'. It doesn't do what you
think it does. 

If you already have libpng.i386 installed, and you install the x86_64
version of xdvipdfmx, is that OK?

You told RPM that it is (although thankfully it works out for itself
which libraries it needs, so it will _also_ pull in the correct
version).
