Hi,

 I'm still running 64bit FC4 on a few x86_64 platform
boxes, and trying to upgrade valgrind to 3.2.0 from
the fedora development tree. 

 the valgrind builds without problems but fails the
command "rpm -Uvh --test
/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/x86_64/valgrind-3.2.0-4.x86_64.rpm"
with the following error messages:

error: Failed dependencies:
        valgrind = 1:2.4.0 is needed by (installed) 
valgrind-callgrind-0.9.11-1.i386

I've changed the line "Obsoletes: valgrind-callgrind"
to "Obsoletes: valgrind-callgrind.i386" in
valgrind.spec file and recompiled the package but
still no luck.

 The existing valgrind and valgrind-callgrind are both
.386 packages while the new valgrind 3.2.0 version is
compiled as a x86_64 package. 

On 64bit FC4 O/S can x86_64 packages replace and
obsolete related i386 packages? if spcified with
"Obsoletes" instructions in .spec file?

Please help. Thanks a lot.
