ok, i'll do that, but i'm still curious as to where that requirement
for that single i586 package came from on my x86_64 system.
to recap, i wanted to download everything asterisk-related and
dependencies in a separate directory so i could poke at them and, if i
wanted to, install them off-line knowing that i had all of the
necessary dependencies. so i ran:
$ yumdownloader --resolve "asterisk*"
and, in part:
...

...
first (and maybe i'm just confused), that indentation looks
backwards. i would have expected listings for packages, underneath
which there would be sub-levels of their dependencies being processed.
you know, something like this:
--> Package asterisk-dahdi.x86_64 0:1.6.1-0.23.rc1.fc11 set to be updated
---> Processing Dependency: dahdi-tools >= 2.0.0 for package: asterisk-dahdi
---> Processing Dependency: libpri.so.1.4()(64bit) for package: asterisk-dahdi
---> Processing Dependency: libss7.so.1()(64bit) for package: asterisk-dahdi
---> Processing Dependency: libtonezone.so.2.0()(64bit) for package: asterisk-dahdi
wouldn't that make more sense? and i'm still confused as to what is
forcing the download of that single i586 asterisk-devel package.
