The problem you are describing occurs when the arch specific portion of
a package is installed in /usr/lib64/ and the arch independent portion
is installed in /usr/lib/.

This is not the case in the scenario I describe: the whole of an arch
specific package is installed into /usr/lib64/ and the whole of an arch
independent package is installed into /usr/lib/.

I still don't know what exactly the OP is seeing, though.
