If you upgraded from F16 to F17 there were a number of
steps that changed the file system to a combined system
   http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/UsrMove
so that /lib and /usr/lib is actually the same thing (and so
is /sbin and /usr/sbin).  So, seeing the file using both paths
is to be expected (/lib is a link to /usr/lib, /sbin is a link to
/usr/sbin).

That said, I do not know if preupgrade performed the complete
set of steps needed yp upgrade correctly, but I do remember
a number of bugzilla reports opened that there were cases
where it failed (usually edge cases, but perhaps you are one
of those edge cases).

You may also want to use package-cleanup --problems to
determine if the upgrade was not entirely clean.

If all else fails, a clean install of F17 is probably best.
