xpdf is from extras and poppler-utils is from core if I recall. You are 
right in that some communication was overlooked between the two 
entities. However, xpdf only needed minor elements from xpdf-utils to 
function, poppler-utils now provides the needed elements. RPM on the 
other hand is not wanting to walk over another rpms files and is 
complaining as should happen.

You can remove xpdf and xpdf-utils, update your system and then install 
xpdf again and it will succeed on installation. (At least it did for me).
