%{?_isa} wouldn't really fix this. It'd just change the error from
"protected multilib versions" to "unresolvable dependencies". The
real issue
is that the repository contains packages with broken dependencies, and
there's no magic bullet to fix that in yum or in the packaging. There is,
however, talk about enforcing the AutoQA dependency checks on the Bodhi end,
which should fix that problem in most cases.
Well it could, if we were smarter about the order in which files on
the mirrors got updated.
