In fact it looked like he used FC5/i386 to test it, check https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-packaging/2006-August/msg00250.html He includes a repeatable setup where yum installs an i686 package overwriting another i686 package. I didn't verify the yum setup (but I trust Thorsten to have done the right thing), I just checked with rpm -i alone and that worked as expected, e.g. file conflicts were detected and the install aborted. -- Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net
