No, I've been trying to get rid of i386 stuff, remember? I checked that
before posting my first message. Only the x86_64 version was installed.
I think the situation is a little more complicated, anyway. If I say:
yum install frobnitz
It does *not* go off and install both versions - I just get the x86_64
version, which is what I would want. The i386 packages seem to mostly
sneak in through upgrades, as was shown in my example.
Thanks,
