The 7.2 install lets you install conflicting packages without
warning; this is a bug. MandrakeUpdate correctly detects the
conflict later. You can get out of this mess by using rmpdrake
(or rpm) to remove the conflicting packages.

That's right. You should have on or the other, but not both.
If you have both by accident, remove one or the other manually.
