Exactly, this is a packaging error/change.  This has nothing to do with 
an apt problem.

Some of the files that used to be provided by one package in 3.2.1 are 
in a different package in 3.3.0.  This is not too uncommon.  Just either 
replace the particular files via rpm with the --replacefiles switch, or 
do what Richard said.  It won't hurt your system.  RPM is just letting 
you know because this requires some thinking and judgment calls only a 
human can make. ;-)
