I suppose my idea that this might not be a multi arch issue is probably
bogus. This issue might be worth reporting upstream, although I think
you should report this against redhat-lsb, not tar.

It might have something to do with rpm assuming the
Requires: /bin/tar
in the redhat-lsb spec file to be a i386 binary by default. If you look
at that spec file you see that all required libraries have a conditional
arch qualifier. Perhaps that is actually needed for explicitly required
binaries too. Although that might still cause a catch 22 when upgrading
redhat-lsb for both archs as in this case the requirement for one of the
archs is still unsatisfied as only one /bin/tar is available. Anyway,
probably worth reporting upstream.

Regards,
Leonard.
