Re: yum is installing both i386 and x86_64 for everything

["cornel panceac" <cpanceac gmail com>]

this happened to me when i upgraded centos4x86_64 to centos5i386. it was fixed by putting explicitly i386 on repo files, and yum clean, and removing whatever files in /var/cache/yum mention x86_64. but may be a false positive :)

If you do many packages at once, or things get pulled through
dependencies, then

   yum --exclude='*.i??6' install ... ....

works too.  If you do not plan to even install x86 packages then
putting such exclude into your yum configuration could be an
option.

Additionally for some unclear, to me, reasons this is not even
always consistent.  Sometimes it will not try to grab extra
packages even when '.x86_64' specification was forgotten.
