ok, the first suggestion worked, but i'm still puzzled about why that
i586 rpm was downloaded in the first place. there are 64 asterisk*
rpms for f11 beta, and that was the only one whose i586 equivalent was
downloaded as well. so why was that? i checked and it doesn't look
like any of the others require it as a dependency. what caused it to
be picked up?
