The difference is not going to magically disappear in FC5, although it
could be done in some future repoquery version. I've been hesitant about
changing it to require those \n's because 99% of the time you actually
*want* the damn newline there.
But back to the question at hand - both yum and repoquery list the
architecture by default unlike rpm, wasn't that what you wanted in the
first place?
