freetype-1.3.1-5 appears to be the original package from RH 6.2 (not 7.1,
AFAIK there is FT2 in 7.1 but they call it "freetype" too...argh, this is
a can of worms waiting to be opened), freetype1-1.3.1-2 (please note the
difference in the first part) appears to be a package from another distro
(Polish(ed)...). The first step to ``get past this error'' is to stop
mixing binary packages from two different distros.
