You have a broken dep on x86_64 - and where on singlearch it just fails,
on multiarch it looks around to see what else can work. It sees the
uninstalled i686 pkg and sees that it satisfies the dep and uses it.
this is why we should be using %{_isa} whereever we can. to make seemingly
arch-independent deps arch-dependent.
