I think I know what's happening.

You're updating gcc - which is pulling in a new libgcj for x86_64,
probably, but not a new one for i386 - so when it goes to update only
one of the archs it's complaining. Maybe I should add a routine where:
 if we're on a biarch machine and we're updating a package for one arch,
check for the biarch package and see if it can be updated too.
