Sure, I don't understand this either. The whole %{isa} thing is a
crutch. I can't think of a single case where I want a new i386 package
to satisfy a dep on my x86_64 system that's not *explicitly*
specified. If the correct package isn't available, then just skip this
package until the next updates check, and hope the repos are in a more
sane state next time.

Anyway, if anyone wants to know the fesco ticket, it's here:
