Given that the maintenance info is out for SLES and the packages are coming in with fou4s and YOU I assume the security announcement for libtiff is pending soon. The rpms for SuSE 9.2 x86-64 are broken. The libtiff rpm tries to put files in /usr/lib, in conflict with libtiff-32bit - the files should be going into /usr/lib64. I recommend not forcing the updates in, but waiting for the fixed packages from SuSE - which I assume are on their way? Lots of stuff may otherwise be broken...
