I found another package with a duplicate entry on one of my systems (gpm).  I 
decided to see what files are actually install by running rpm --verify 
against policy-sources-1.9.2-9 (only one file different because I changed in 
(users)) and policy-sources-1.9.2-5 (a whole bunch).

So, as far as the delete goes, it looks like it is just the rpm DB that is 
screwed up.
