I'd nitpick and say that you have two versions of one package installed -- not the potential interpretation of "one file owned by two different packages"

- No, a file cannot be owned by two rpm packages
- You have two versions of the same package installed. You need to solve that issue.
Personally I have already encountered this some times when updating some packages and then the server is powered off, so data is incomplete on disk. You can try repairing the rpmdb:
rpm --rebuilddb
If you have two packages installed even after rpm db rebuild , you could try just removing both and then reinstalling the one you want.

You can remove just one package when you specify full NEVRA, i.e. "rpm -e coreutils-8.4-46.el6.x86_64" This will remove the old package and keep the new one.
