Well...it may be telling me everything I need to know.....but...I don't know if 
it is meaningful.
 
1.  Why, on a straight vanilla installation, I would get such an error?
2.  Apparently, no one else has gotten this error (no one else chimed in saying 
they had it also).
3.  When I can't tie down a loose end, such as this one, I wonder what else 
wasn't installed correctly.  At affects my comfort level on installing other 
products on top of this image.
4.  This is repeatable.  I've now installed SLES9 64 bit with SP3 4 times and 
have received this error on each image.
5.  I didn't get this type of error when I only installed with SP1 and/or SP2.

Just because you don't understand what it's saying, doesn't mean it's
useless... :)

It's telling you everything you need to know.  Your system has installed
versions of the XFree86-Mesa and XFree86-Mesa-32bit packages for which
both SP1 and SP2 had updates.  For some reason, these updates were not
applied.  As soon as you either update or remove those two packages,
things will be okay.

Cheerio,
