I'm still not sure I've got everything straight, as I've got

printer connected to the system,
and that (crappy) driver drags along some i386/i586 stuff).
Only audit-libs-1.7.12-2.fc11.i586.rpm is available, which I had to
force in, as it is one tick behind.
Perhaps you don't need it at all. The error
Transaction Check Error:
package audit-libs-1.7.12-3.fc10.x86_64 (which is newer than
audit-libs-1.7.12-2.fc11.i586) is already installed
file /etc/libaudit.conf from install of audit-libs-1.7.12-2.fc11.i586
conflicts with file from package audit-libs-1.7.12-3.fc10.x86_64
shows that the dependency resolution has pulled in
audit-libs-1.7.12-2.fc11.i586 but audit-libs.i586 (or .i386) can't be
already installed because it would match the x86_64 version. The reason it
has been dragged in will be that some package, such as audit-libs-python,
says that it needs audit-libs = 1.7.12-2 but can't use
audit-libs-1.7.12-2.fc11.x86_64 because the later
audit-libs-1.7.12-3.fc10.x86_64 is already installed, so the dependency
resolver picks audit-libs-1.7.12-2.fc11.i586 instead which does provide
audit-libs = 1.7.12-2 (audit-libs-python would require x86_64 libaudit
library(s) as well but these would be much less dependant on the precise
package version so audit-libs-1.7.12-3.fc10.x86_64 will satisfy them).
Hence you get the audit-libs-1.7.12-2.fc11.i586 package and maybe other
extra i586 packages (or you would do if it didn't conflict) when it isn't
really want you want, because the dependency resolver is just doing its
best to get you out of an impossible situation.
