I'm not familiar with 64 bit and which packages have legitimate 32 and 
64-bit versions. I suppose both would be the same version number. Anyway 
checking with rpm for versions for the package to make sure you do not 
have multiple versions of the same package on your system would be wise.
I would then try to upgrade the package with yum. It should pull in the 
deps and install.

You are indeed brave to attempt an upgrade using yum.
