You do have i686 packages on that machine ... that is what the error you
posted is.
create (or edit( a file called:
/root/.rpmmacros
put this in the that file as the top line:
%_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch}
Then do the command:
rpm -qa | grep i[3,6]86
That should show you the i686 packages that are installed on the machine.
