Yum and multiple arches.

Okay,

I noticed an issue with yum updating the only x86_64 depencies and not the 
i386 depencies as well when I updating to mozilla-1.6.0. It did however 
update both i386 and x86_64 versions of mozilla.

I have yum setup this way. (edited for brevity) 

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=fedora-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
exclude=*debuginfo*

[development]
name=Fedora Core $releasever - $basearch - Development Packages
baseurl=ftp://workbot/fc1.devel-x86_64/x86_64/Fedora

[development - x86]
name=Fedora Core 2-test1 - i386 - development packages
baseurl=ftp://ftp.telus.net/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386
 

I am assuming that this is an issue arising from yum not being written to 
handle multiple arches.
