Based upon the numerous comments about how firmware-addon-dell
should not be noarch, I converted it to arch-specific over the weekend
along with some other bugfixes I was making. In the previous thread,
somebody had stated that yum would handle this properly.
Well, it turns out that yum will not upgrade a noarch.rpm to
arch-specific in FC6, at least, so I am busted.

I found this out because a user entered a bug against the old
version that I had fixed in the new arch-specific version and couldnt
get the new version unless they removed and re-installed my pkg.
Any thoughts on how to resolve this situation, aside from converting
back to noarch?
