32bit packages on x86_64 and Requires:

[Caolan McNamara <caolanm redhat com>]

If a 32bit package, e.g. Openoffice.org is installed on x86_64 and it
explicitly "Requires:" something. Do rpm and update managers
automatically ignore matching 64bit packages for that Requires and
demand a 32bit package to fulfill the require ? i.e. 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=153128
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/beta/show_bug.cgi?id=153129
where the error messages would suggest that the i386 libgcj and
startup-notification are missing, while rpm -qR lists them as Required.
