I have four packages that can be updated (listing below). However, when I run yum update \*, I am told they conflict with currently existing packages.
Is there any way to "flush" the packages so that a) they do not appear for update or b) they can be installed?

Rep:
Yes, but your getting a conflict for glib2-devel package only. Why you getting the older version listed as an update is not right. Check that you do infact have the both the 32bit and 64bit versions of glib2 and the glib2-devel.x86_64 packages currently installed;
If you are not doing software development for Gnome applications, you can just:
yum remove glib2-devel
You'll get a list of requisites that are also going to be removed; just make sure they are all "-devel" packages (headers files).
In general, x86_64 maintenance can be a little more complex than x86, because of multilib support (having both x86 and x86_64 files on the same machine).

Actually I am... I'm attempting to learn some more about UI development in Linux and will be moving on to 3D and Direct X-like development in SDL. I wanted to learn the basics of Gnome app development before doing anything else.
I noticed that you had multiple versions of the same files. Why were you installing instead of updating? Did you need multiple versions for your development activities? If not, I think that may be how you got yourself into trouble.
