 First (as superuser root) try out the

    package-cleanup --cleandupes

 command. If that doesn't manage to remove the duplicate, give

    rpm --erase --justdb --noscripts --notriggers cronie-1.4.10-6.fc19

 a try. 
    I tried package-cleanup but it didn't work.

but

rpm --erase --justdb --noscripts --notriggers cronie-1.4.10-6.fc19

did!

[root@localhost frank]# rpm -qa | grep cronie
cronie-anacron-1.4.10-7.fc19.i686
cronie-1.4.10-7.fc19.i686
[root@localhost frank]#

Thanks Michael
