yum is installing both i386 and x86_64 for everything

[cornel panceac]

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
:)
