I just noticed an interesting thing with yum-builddep. There's a

dozen other i386 packages. Any way to get around this? Did I do something
wrong?
This sounds like something is wrong in the build system. Where a package is
built on a multi-lib platform, isn't there an explicit "--target x86_64" ?
If
so, rpm has the hint needed to resolve this all successfully. If rpm simply
chose only packages from the arch that is being built, there wouldn't be a
problem. Its that simple.
