there are, like multilib file conflicts, we fix them.
can yum search for foo and if it finds foo-N-N.x86_64.rpm it downloads
it. If not it will download the 32 bit version. However if it finds
foo-N-N.x86_64.rpm it should not download the 32 bit version (to
prevent conflict).
"It should Just Work(tm) for the user"
well my 3 sources have the same problem, and yum update fails each
time. It is not just working for the user.
