Not sure I understand what you mean by "aren't needed". foo.i386 has
the same set of "Requires" statements as foo.x86_64
Besides I performed a small experiment: I checked my diskless partition to
see how many bzip2 packages I had installed (chrooted to the dikless partition
before executing this):
rpm -qa --qf "%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-%{arch}\n" |grep bzip2
bzip2-libs-1.0.3-4.el5_2-x86_64
bzip2-1.0.3-4.el5_2-x86_64
Then, I removed bzip2 and bzip2-libs from the diskless partition:
rpm -e --nodeps bzip2
rpm -e --nodeps bzip2-libs
I had to use nodpes because of dependencies.
Subsequently I installed bzip2 again using yum:
yum --enablerepo apm-v5-64 --installroot=/tftpboot/v564/ install bzip2
Obviously I was not chrooted at this point.
Again I checked that packages (chrooted):
rpm -qa --qf "%{name}-%{version}-%{release}-%{arch}\n" |grep bzip2
bzip2-libs-1.0.3-4.el5_2-i386
bzip2-1.0.3-4.el5_2-i386
bzip2-libs-1.0.3-4.el5_2-x86_64
bzip2-1.0.3-4.el5_2-x86_64
Why did I get i386 and x86_64 packages this time? This seems inconsistent...

I upgraded to this version and repeated the installation of my
diskless partition - the same effect.
