up2date dependency error with biarch packages (x86_64/i386)

I got the following result during recent up2date attempt on x86_64,
which kills the update.  I manually grabbed and installed the i386
packages for dbus, dbus-glibc, hal, and libcap.  Subsequent up2date
completes properly.  Should up2date be able to resolve this type of
dependency?

Would be useful to include the %{ARCH} in missing dependency, since
the message below does not clearly convey the actual problem.  Is
there a way to coax this information out (--verbose gets that info
when fetching headers, but not when displaying the dependency error)?
