 Yeh, that's not how it works. If you have foo.i386 and foo.x86_64
installed, and you need to update foo.i386 for a dep. then yum will
update both ... but it doesn't install things that aren't needed.

 Probably the easiest solution is to write a yum plugin which hooks
pretransaction, goes through conduit.getTsInfo().getMembers() and then
any package which has another arch. of the same version (which isn't
being installed) is then added.

 As Seth said, you want to require at least yum-3.2.19-18.el5 if not
yum-3.2.19-18.el5_3.1 or later.
