Sounds like a smart bug. I think smart decides to resolve some packages' 
dependencies on firefox = 1.5.0.9 after upgrading the x86_64 version to 2.0.0.1 
by pulling in the i386 one. Of course, this can't work properly, you should 
never install different version numbers of the same package for x86_64 and 
i386, and most likely, the packages need the x86_64 shared libraries anyway. 
What should happen, instead, is that the rebuilt versions of the packages 
requiring Firefox get installed from Rémi's repository. But of course, this can 
only happen automatically if you enable Rémi's repository entirely, not just 
give smart an RPM to install.
