As far as removing, yum remove \*.i?86 Works for me every time. The only shared files that may get removed are documents (bug that needs to be fixed but not critical)
Does not work for gaim at least: rpm -e gaim.i386 rpm -V gaim shows a lot of missing files under /usr/share -- Michel Salim http://www.cs.indiana.edu/~msalim http://the-dubois-papers.blogspot.com/ -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
